As part of the University's action to prevent and slow the spread of COVID-19, all advising and programming will take place virtually.
For COVID-19 related questions, please check our COVID-19 Resources, especially the FAQs by audience, as many of your questions may already be answered there.
OISS remains committed to supporting our international student and scholar community during this health emergency. Although the building remains closed, OISS is still operating at full capacity - but remotely - in support of the international community. While we must do a few things differently, we are available, as always, to answer your questions and address your concerns.
You can always get in touch with us via email. While it may take us a few days to get back to you, we promise that we will do our best to answer your question as quickly as we can.

Our OISS team will be meeting with you over Zoom throughout the fall semester. Please schedule an appointment with your adviser whenever questions come up.
Find your advisor by searching for your department or program below. Click on 'make an appointment' next to their name to schedule an appointment at your convenience.
These drop-in hours, similar to our walk-in advising hours, are for quick immigration or Yale-related questions, but are not meant to be a replacement to scheduling an appointment with your OISS adviser.
Every Thursday OISS sends out a weekly newsletter with important immigration updates and reminders. Make sure you read this email every week when it comes out. We also feature our upcoming programs and events, so we hope to see you on some of these programs throughout the year!
If you aren't receiving the newsletter, please subscribe by following the instructions on this page.
OISS is now on Yale Connect. You will sign up for all of our programs and events on this platform, so make sure to follow our page and register for events here. Find out more on our Yale Connect Information page.
