Congratulations on your admission to St.Cloud State University (SCSU). We look forward to having you become a part of our university community. Over 16,000 students enrolled for classes at the university this year, including over 1,000 international students.

For many students, coming to America may be a confusing experience, beginning with a long airplane ride that includes curious food. As different as those first experiences may be, it is unlikely you will continue to have difficulties. A network of offices and faculty are here at SCSU to assist you. The Center for International Studies - International Students & Scholars Services is your office. It was established to assist you in getting to SCSU and to provide services to you while you are a student here. We at the Center for International Studies pledge our support to you. We sincerely hope you will come to regard the center as your home away from home. Please contact our office with any questions you may have regarding your education here at SCSU.

Once again, congratulations and welcome aboard!
