International Student Services (ISS)

International Student Services facilitates international orientation, immigration, community building, and student programming. Workshops and counseling on culture shock and healthy transitions are also provided. The Office of International Student Services is a critical part of linking international students to each other and the larger campus. Whether performing in Chapel, hosting a dinner, putting on a dance, watching an international film or just hanging out. The Cultural Resource Center creates space for International Students to find themselves, be comfortable, share their experiences and culture.

An international student is a citizen of another country, a U.S. citizen who has lived in another country or a U.S. permanent resident.

If this describes you, and you are interested in attending Anderson University, let us help you with the admission process and getting to know the AU community.

Your AU Story Begins Now

Growing up in a third-culture family, the idea of home has been inconsistent and blurry for me for a very long time. Anderson has allowed me to explore and to redefine what home means for me. I have found a community of friends and mentors that I can call my own, and they continually push me and challenge me to integrate my past with my present. AU has become one of my families these last few years, and it’s a good family to be a part of.
