Welcome to International Student and Scholar Services!
We provide orientation and advising to international students after they have been admitted to the university. For information about applying to UT Knoxville, please visit our admissions page.
Additionally, we work with UT Knoxville departments and colleges to serve international scholars who visit our campus in order to lecture, teach, or conduct research.
The staff of the ISSS is here to help students and scholars understand immigration regulations and their impact. Advisors are available during the week for walk-in advising and appointments made in advance.
Note that walk-in hours are for brief discussions only (10-15 minutes). For longer discussions, please set up an appointment by calling the CIE or emailing the advisor directly . We do not make same day appointments.
