At the Office of International Student Services (OISS), we provide services to meet the diverse needs of the La Sierra University international student community. The office offers programs which foster global perspectives, intercultural awareness, and international goodwill.
We work with students on immigration requirements to ensure safe and legal status in the United States. This Office also hosts a helpful and mandatory orientation for all new international students before classes beginning of each quarter as well as workshops throughout the year.
