Global Education Offices Operating Remotely

Following the proclamation of Governor Gavin Newsom on March 20, the Global Education Director's Office, the International Faculty & Scholars Office (IFSO), the International Students & Programs Office (ISPO), and Study Abroad are working remotely. We will continue to provide a high standard of service and support to the entire campus community, both international and domestic. Below you will find information on some changes to our processes that might impact you.

The Director’s Office continues to further the internationalization of campus by cultivating international partnerships, developing new program modalities and supporting the continuity of the ACE Internationalization Lab.

IFSO encourages using the paperless "International Scholar Dossier" web-based application for all J-1 requests and created electronic workflows to maintain all other services. IFSO continues to offer programming online via Zoom and regularly updates departmental and scholar clients with immigration news in this fast changing environment.

ISPO created an up-to-date FAQ webpage for international students and continues to provide immigration services electronically. Additionally, ISPO leadership is advocating for international students and communicating the issues they face to senior administration.

Study Abroad is advising students both virtually and by phone appointments. They have also created a webpage with information for each international program managed by Study Abroad and how these programs are being impacted.
