Jacksonville University is home to nearly 300 international students representing 59 countries. ISS staff advises international students with F-1 or J-1 visas who are enrolled in undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs.


Current and incoming international Phins can connect with the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of International Student Services!

Examples of what we help with:

  • Visa & Immigration-Related Questions
  • Personal Matters
  • Social Security & Work Authorization
  • Travel & Form I-20 Endorsements
  • Communication with home countries
  • Housing Information

The answers to many frequently asked questions can be found in our International Student Introduction and International Student Handbook - all incoming students should get acquainted with both documents!
