International Students

The International Student Services Office is responsible for all international students, faculty and visiting scholars and researchers at the University of Cincinnati. The office is in charge of issuing the Certificate of Eligibility (1-20A-B for F-1 status, or IAP-66 for J-1 status) only to applicants who have submitted all the necessary documents and have been admitted to the University. These services meet the requirements of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and the governments of the countries whose students and faculty come to the University of Cincinnati for study, training and research. The University is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students and scholars as well as visiting faculty through the services of this office.

The staff of the International Student Services Office is available to assist all internationals with their general welfare and guide them in their relations within the University community so that they can pursue their academic goals most successfully. The office provides advising on financial needs, cultural adjustment and personal concerns, as well as information regarding immigration regulations, passport renewal and certification letters. The University Student Health Insurance policy is mandatory for all international students during their stay at the university.
