About Our Team

Our Focus

The Office of Immigration Services is focused on providing comprehensive support and assistance to Clemson University’s international students, scholars, and faculty on F-1, J-1, H-1B, and other employment-based visas. We are so happy you chose Clemson for your education, research, or work experience, and we are committed to helping make your transition to the University and the United States as smooth as possible. Our team is here to guide you through the immigration process, help you understand important requirements and deadlines, and provide the resources you need to maintain your immigration status throughout your time at Clemson.

We encourage you to explore our website, where you will find answers to many common questions about visas, immigration requirements, travel, employment, maintaining your status, and other important topics. Whether you are preparing to come to the United States for the first time or are already part of the Clemson community, the Immigration Services is here to support you along the way. If you have questions or need additional assistance, please reach out to us at is@clemson.edu or call 864-656-3614. We look forward to welcoming you to Clemson and supporting you throughout your experience with the University.
