Center For Academic & Career Development

The Center for Academic and Career Development assists international students with matters concerning:

 

• adjustment to life on an American college campus

   

• adjustment to our college academic system

   

• issues related to living and studying in the United States while on an F-1 student visa

International students participate fully in all New Student Orientation activities and in the Liberal Arts and Sciences Core Curriculum.

F-1 visa students must maintain lawful status in the United States. In order to maintain lawful F-1 visa status, Wagner College international students will be issued a form I-20 from Wagner College to be used to obtain an F-1 student visa from the U.S. consulate in their country.   Wagner's policies for international students for obtaining college admission and a visa can be found on our International Student Application Process page.

International students are required to meet with the International Student Advisor (ISA) at the start of each semester in order to fulfill student visa requirements. It is also advisable to visit the ISA often to keep abreast of new developments in the U.S. Immigration Law which may affect an F-1 visa student.
