When you accept admission to Notre Dame, you immediately become a part of the Notre Dame family. At Notre Dame International, we want to help make the Dome feel like home.
Even before you arrive on campus, our International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA) team is preparing to ensure you, our international students, scholars, and faculty, can transition to life at Notre Dame seamlessly. The ISSA team can help navigate procedures with the Department of Homeland Security, manage timelines on visa and immigration papers, provide a comprehensive orientation to the university, and connect you with any necessary resources.
Our hope is that each international scholar leaves campus with a wealth of connections, a better understanding of American culture, an appreciation for Notre Dame’s values of scholarship, service, and solidarity, and the knowledge and pride that they have educated this community about their home countries, as they make our collective home at the University a richer place.
