New, Incoming, and Current International Students

Welcome new, incoming, and current international students from the International Student Support Team!

A Warm World Welcome and Introduction

The purpose of this website is to introduce new and incoming international students to important Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV (Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV) systems and resources on its three campuses: Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota-Manatee. In addition, students will get to know the International Student Support (ISS) Team. 

By learning about the university’s systems, international students will be able to complete many of their enrollment requirements even before they arrive to Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV. They will also become familiar with systems such as Canvas, Microsoft Teams, and Oasis that all Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV students use regularly. 

Finally, by learning about the resources featured on this website, we hope that our international students will gain access to information and support that will allow them to succeed in their studies at Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV, and have fun under the sun! Our Team is always available for on from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm (EST).
