International Student Services

The Educational Pathways for International Centers and Students (EPICS) Office offers onboarding of new students, immigration advisement, support services, counsel, and programming for all international students from applicant through alumni status. A trained staff supports international students as they settle into the community and assists in locating the resources they require to succeed academically. All student applicants who hold a United States visa or who have been educated at the high school or collegiate level outside the United States should contact the Office of International Student Services when seeking admission. All international students must meet with a Designated School Official (DSO) upon arriving on campus and at the beginning of each semester thereafter to complete immigration procedures with SEVIS prior to the start of classes. International students must bring their passports, visas, I-20s (Certificate of Eligibility for Non-Immigrant Student Status), and I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) to each semester meeting. For additional information about the program, email the Director of EPICS in International Office Amanda.Stinemetz@fairmontstate.edu.
