The International Services Office supports TCU’s international students, faculty, and staff on F, J, and employment-based visas, offering a wide range of services that reflect the university’s commitment to global engagement. We operate within the Division of Student Affairs and cover three broad areas of responsibility: Regulatory, Engagement, and Student Service.
At the individual level, we provide expert guidance on immigration matters, including compliance with federal and state laws and regulations, helping students, faculty, and staff navigate complex visa processes and maintain legal status. At the institutional level, we partner with academic units to ensure international students and scholars are culturally and academically prepared to thrive in the U.S. higher education system. At the collaborative level, we develop innovative, cross-cultural programs that bring international and domestic communities together, advancing TCU’s mission of preparing responsible, ethical global leaders.
Our work is grounded in four core pillars: orientation and adjustment, immigration support, career and professional development, and social and cultural exchange. These pillars shape every aspect of our services—from individualized onboarding and advising, to professional development opportunities, to campus-wide cultural initiatives that build community and connection.
Whether you are here to study, teach, research, or work, the International Services Office is your dedicated partner in making the most of your experience at TCU and in the United States.
