INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Welcome to the International Community at HWS!
Congratulations on your acceptance! It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to HWS and to our outstanding international community.
International students have a long history of noteworthy contributions to the HWS community through exemplary extracurricular and academic performance. We are confident that you will continue this legacy, and we look forward to welcoming you into a community eager to celebrate your achievements and contribute to your personal, academic and professional growth.
As you prepare to pack your bags and start an exciting new adventure, know that all of HWS’s international community shares the common experience of leaving home to study in the United States. This tight-knit community is more than willing to offer insight and support throughout this process to make your transition smooth and enjoyable.
Throughout your time at HWS, we also hope that you find the Office of International Student Success to be a place to share with other international students and join events that celebrate multiculturalism and world cultures, including dinners, workshops, multicultural events and outings.
As you prepare to join us at HWS, you’ll need to begin the process of applying for your I-20 – your Certificate of Eligibility from HWS. This will enable you to begin the process of visa application with your embassy or consulate.
Once you’ve accepted your place, and made your deposit, you’ll gain access to the New Student Onboarding Portal. This is where you’ll be able to submit your I-20 application, alongside all required financial documentation, and other information as required.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the Office of International Student Success at (315) 781-3048 or oiss@hws.edu. We are so excited to welcome you to our lives on the lake!
