On August 1, 2009 the Office of International Students and Scholars became two separate operations, providing stronger and more focused support for UW educational activities.

The International Scholars Office (ISO), located in 239 Gerberding Hall, assists academic departments that sponsor international visitors for teaching or research and provides support to faculty and scholars from abroad.

International Student Services (ISS), located in 459 Schmitz Hall, provides visa and immigration advising to international students.
