Marymount Manhattan College welcomes students from all over the world. The College has students from more than 50 countries in any given semester. The International Student Services Office in the Center for Student Services serves as a resource for international students and helps them throughout their time at the College. The ISS Coordinator facilitates international students’ adjustment to life in the United States and works with them to maintain their F-1 Student status. Together with the Intercultural Center, the ISS Coordinator facilitates programs to promote cross-cultural and international understanding.
Students on F-1 Visas must report to the International Student Services Office in the Center for Student Services upon arrival at MMC and must attend the International Student Orientation. F-1 students are required to maintain a full course of study (minimum of 12 credits) each semester. International students must contact the ISS Coordinator if there are any changes in their F-1 Student status.
Students with lawful F-1 Student status may work on campus provided they receive clearance from the International Student Services Office, who will verify employment and complete the paperwork needed to receive a social security card. Every time F-1 Students travel internationally they must receive a travel endorsement from a Designated School Official (DSO) in the Center for Student Services. Students are advised not to wait until the last minute to complete this task. All international students are required to participate in the College’s health insurance plan, which will automatically be billed to their student account each year. All international students are encouraged to visit or contact Miss Kean Hawker, (Assistant Director for International Student Services/DSO) in the Center for Student Services with their questions or concerns.
