International Student Services & Engagement (ISSE) is part of the Center for Diversity and Global Engagement in the Division of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

ISSE  staff members are available to assist international students in maintaining their legal F-1 non-immigrant status in the United States (U.S.) and strive to ensure that students experience a smooth transition to life in the U.S. through International Student Orientation and other programs throughout the year. ISS 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. Any international student with questions regarding their F-1 Student 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 and any other related topic.

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