OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND SCHOLARS

The Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) has full-time advisors to assist international students with all their immigration concerns. Any questions about visas, passports, F-1 regulations, J-1 regulations, employment, full-time enrollment, physical presence enrollment, or any other immigration issue can be directed to the advisors.

OISS provides a variety of events, orientation sessions, immigration lawyer information sessions, and workshops for international students. The International Student Handbook, which can be found at the HPU website, provides a wealth of information on adjusting to American life, travel and immigration, employment, income tax, health care, community resources, and more.

International students are accepted for individual semesters of study that include fall, spring and summer (certain programs only). Additional tuition is charged for those students who elect to attend the University’s summer semester. A Statement of Financial Support (SFS) showing sufficient financial resources in USD, along with a financial institution verification of liquid assets, must be submitted on bank letterhead.
