Departments across campus often work with both International Students and International Scholars. The resources below are designed for CSU departments, staff, and faculty to effectively support these specific populations. As a reminder, generally:
- International students are individuals from abroad who enroll in academic programs at CSU to study and earn a degree or credential.
- International scholars are visiting academics or professionals from other countries who typically come to teach, conduct research, or engage in other scholarly work.
International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) is available to provide further guidance and support as questions or needs arise.
