JOIN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT VIRTUAL ADVISING IN 3 EASY STEPS:

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT VIRTUAL ADVISING HOURS

• If you have more complex questions or a situation that we may not have time to discuss during our regularly scheduled virtual Zoom Advising sessions, you may request additional assistance that will be provided either through a Zoom appointment or email.
• Please note that Zoom appointment availability is limited, with longer waiting times, so a faster way to talk to us may be through attending additional regularly scheduled virtual Zoom Advising sessions.
• Submit our Contact Form with a thorough description of the topic/situation you would like to discuss.
• Within 3-5 businesss days (1 week), an ISPO Advisor will either answer your questions through email, or schedule a Zoom appointment with you if one is available and/or needed for your case.

Effective as of Monday, December 07, 2020:

• While the State of California “Stay at Home Order” is in effect, all ISPO services are provided remotely through online Zoom advising and email.
• No in-person appointments are available until further notice.
• These measures not only serve to protect both you and our staff through recommended social distancing, but they are designed to better serve you with more accessible advising and information online.

• All submitted forms will be automatically routed to the appropriate advisor, and considered on a case-by-case basis.
• We will do our best to complete your request as soon as possible, but completion of your request before its due date is subject to our advisors' current workload and it is not guaranteed.
• A notification email will be sent to you when your document/service request has been completed.
