International Student Services

The International Student Services (ISS) office warmly welcomes you to Virginia International University. VIU hosts students from over 50 countries all over the world. As a result, many services are offered to our international students to assist with their transition from their home countries to life in the United States. On this website you will find information about US Immigration regulations as they related to VIU students, VIU policy and procedures as well as other helpful information for international students. The ISS understands the needs of its diverse international student population and serves as a resource to all VIU students. If you are unable to find the answer to a question you may have, please feel free to contact us directly. We look forward to assisting you
