Services for International Students
Oregon State University provides a comprehensive First-Year Experience (FYE) for all undergraduate, first-year degree-seeking students. In addition to the FYE, OSU offers an additional layer of academic and personal support services for international first-year students, referred to as International Direct (ID). International Direct services are provided through the INTO OSU Center, in close partnership with other university departments, and are designed to ensure a smooth transition to US higher education and a strong start towards a degree from Oregon State University.
International Direct (ID) services include a personalized study plan with individualized advising and guided registration, additional academic support resources tailored to international student needs, and ongoing personal support from pre-arrival and orientation throughout the first three terms at OSU. Services are provided for the first three consecutive terms at OSU, regardless of start term.
The following students are not eligible for International Direct Services: exchange, athletes, post-bacc, Ecampus students and residents of HSBC banking restricted countries.
