International Student Services
International Student Services
International students and student immigrants have access to all services provided by Student Services. Goldfarb School of Nursing is approved by the Department of Homeland Security under the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to host F1 status. Eligibility documents for international students are maintained by the Student Engagement Advisor.
The Student Engagement Advisor maintains immigration documents and acts as an advisor and referral source for international students. International students are required to contact the Specialist at least once each term and before any program or record changes are made. The Specialist and the student will then work with the Academic and Student Support Advisor to process “adds/drops.” See IV.C. Add/Drop.
The Goldfarb School of Nursing Emergency Compassion Fund
The Emergency Compassion Fund was established to provide financial assistance to nursing students who encounter unexpected emergency or crisis situations that would impact their ability to meet and successfully complete their academic requirements.
To be eligible for a financial assistance award, a student must be currently enrolled and be able to provide a description of their emergency situation, which may include supporting documentation.
