International Students

As a new international student, you must meet with your college-level academic counselor. This meeting is critical, as your counselor will review your degree requirements at the University of Oklahoma. Your advisor also will give you a brief orientation to OU and your college, as well as provide your initial advising. The Who-How-Where of Advising will provide you with information about your chosen college and who your advisor is.

Most colleges at the University of Oklahoma use the iAdvise appointment system. When you log in with your 4x4 (first four letters of your last name and last four digits of your student ID number) and password, the system will take you into your college/advisor appointment book to schedule an appointment. The Advising Home Page provides information on colleges that use either iAdvise or an alternate means of scheduling appointments.

Besides checking in with your college academic counselor, it is important for you to have information about immigration requirements specific to enrollment. If you are a new international student or have started a new degree level as an international student, you must check in with the OU International Student Services office in 224 Old Science Hall. Please visit the International Student Services web site dedicated to Important Enrollment Information for International Students.

The International Student Services office is the lifeline for international students at the University of Oklahoma. They are here to assist you with federal regulations, to facilitate the education and personal development of international students, and to support cultural exchange and enrichment at the University of Oklahoma and the Norman community. A wealth of information is available at the International Student Services web site or by calling them at (405) 325-3337.
