Services for International Students
The Office of the International Programs (OIP) provides a full range of support services for international students. A week-long orientation program for new students held before the start of the fall semester makes adjustment to university life in the United States much easier. Academic advisement and course registration also take place at this time. The OIP handles all matters dealing with immigration counseling, employment requests, foreign exchange, and cultural adjustment. Internationals at Clarion are urged to become members of the Clarion International Association. Through its many activities, this student group coming from more than 42 countries of the world, helps to build a friendly environment for international students at Clarion and promotes good will and understanding among peoples and cultures.

Financial Assistance
International Assistantship awards, in the form of tuition reductions valued at $3,000 per academic year, are available for international students who qualify. Awards are based on need and merit and may be renewed each year providing student meets established criteria. Recipients of Graduate Assistantships are ineligible for International Assistantship awards.
