ISSS will be closed for Winter Break

Georgia State University will be closed for winter break from Saturday, December 22, 2012, through Sunday, January 6, 2013. We will reopen on Monday, January 7.

If you are experiencing an immigration emergency, please call Georgia State University Police at 404-413-3333, and they will connect you with the appropriate assistance. Examples of an immigration emergency include:

  • Detainment at a U.S. port of entry by immigration officials
  • Arrest or incarceration in the United States by police or immigration officials 
  • Immediate threat of deportation

    Please note:     Lack of a travel signature on your I-20 or DS-2019 is not considered an immigration emergency.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately. A life-threatening emergency is a situation that poses a severe, immediate threat to your physical and/or mental health and which, if not immediately treated, may result in permanent damage or death.

For all other non-life-threatening emergencies, please call Georgia State University police at 404-413-3333.

 

International Student & Scholar Services, a division of the Office of International Initiatives, provides comprehensive assistance and support for the large community of international students, faculty and staff at Georgia State University. ISSS staff members help international students and scholars with their initial adjustment to the University and Atlanta; provide information and advice about immigration regulations, cultural differences, financial matters, and personal concerns; and assist them throughout their stay by providing useful and creative programs.

ISSS works closely with campus and community partners to ensure that international students, scholars, and their families have the greatest opportunity to achieve their personal and professional goals while at Georgia State. We take pride in providing high quality, friendly services, and look forward to being of assistance to you.
