The Office of International Student Services (OISS) welcomes you!

The OISS puts F-1 international students at the center of all we do! We help prospective international students become current students, and we help current international students maintain their F-1 visas. We encourage international students to get involved, connect, and engage with domestic students, PCC, and the Portland community through our student life activities and events, as well as many student leadership positions.

Check out our webpages for helpful information and contact us with any questions you may have. We look forward to connecting with you!
