​International Student Services & Engagement (ISSE) is part of the Division of Inclusive Excellence. 

ISSE staff members are available to assist international students in maintaining their legal F-1 and J-1 non-immigrant statuses in the United States (U.S.) and strive to ensure that students and exchange visitors (EVs) experience a smooth transition to life in the U.S. through International Student Orientation and other programs throughout the year. ISSE is available to assist students individually in their personal, social, and academic adjustment to Wentworth and the U.S.

ISSE is the source of information at Wentworth regarding the regulations and policies of the U.S. government as they pertain to international students and EVs. Any international student or EV with questions regarding their F-1 student status or J-1 visitor status should contact ISSE to obtain an analysis of, and recommendations for, their specific situation. ISSE will address questions related to employment, maintaining valid status, obtaining a new visa or Form I-20 or DS-2019 and any other related topic. 

It is the responsibility of each student or EV to maintain their valid status in the United States. Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) records of international students and EVs are maintained through ISSE in order to provide information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on each student as required by law.
