These services are coordinated through the Director of International Student Services, whose goal is to help students from abroad adjust to life in the United States. In addition to serving as a student liaison and advocate, the International Advisor assists students in securing the services they need. The Advisor is available to answer questions about visa and travel, cross-cultural understanding, and other aspects of daily life.
UArts offers a one-week orientation session that helps students acquaint themselves with Philadelphia, the campus, and other international students. Other programs for international students include ESL tutorial assistance and Immigration Service advisement.
