Welcome to ISSS!
International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) provides services and resources to facilitate the internationalization of Colorado State University, Fort Collins, and the greater Colorado and global communities. We strive to assist international students and scholars with cultural adjustment, academic integration, professional growth, and personal support. As part of that initiative, we oversee new international student and scholar orientation and arrival, regulatory compliance, immigration services, sponsor services, events and programming, and act as a liaison to the U.S. government.
ISSS also assists CSU departments to host international scholars who engage in collaborative research and teaching as a way to promote international exchange.

Upcoming Event: 69th Anual World Unity Fair
Experience cultures from around the world — without ever packing a bag.
For nearly seven decades, the World Unity Fair has drawn thousands of CSU and Fort Collins community members to campus. People of all ages are invited once again to explore global culture in ways most meaningful to our international students and community members:
- Browse unique gifts and international items at the international bazaar.
- Indulge in delicious cultural cuisine from international students and local groups.
- Enjoy visual art forms and stage performances from around the world.
Skip the packing this spring, and join us on Saturday, February 22, 2025, from 5 – 9pm in the Lory Student Center Grand Ballrooms.
This year’s free event is presented by the Office of International Programs and is co-sponsored by the Associated Students of Colorado State University, Council of International Student Affairs and the Fort Collins International Center.
