Studying at Marshall

The Office of International Student Services (ISS) at Marshall University supports international students and scholars from around the world — from admission through graduation.

Serving as both international admissions and the immigration advising center for all F-1 and J-1 students, ISS issues Forms I-20 and DS-2019, provides immigration and cultural advising, and ensures SEVIS and U.S. Department of Homeland Security compliance.

Our mission is to help every international student thrive — academically, personally, and culturally — by guiding you in maintaining lawful status, understanding employment options, and adjusting to life in the United States.

Whether you’re just beginning your Marshall journey or continuing your studies, we’re here to help every step of the way.”
