Cal Poly welcomes international faculty and scholars!
The International Students and Scholars (ISS) staff in International Education and Programs at Cal Poly are here to assist visiting faculty and scholars with obtaining the appropriate documents to apply for J-1 exchange visitor visas and offers assistance with maintaining visa status and adjusting to life at Cal Poly and in the United States. The Employment Equity Office can assist departments with hiring faculty requiring other types of visas.
The Exchange Visitor Program, administered by the U.S. Department of State, is used to bring to the United States students, trainees, teachers, professors, and other international visitors. Cal Poly is currently authorized to sponsor students, professors, research scholars and short-term scholars. The Exchange Visitor Program is designed to foster educational and cultural exchange and international understanding.
Please see the list of menu items on the left of this page and contact Barbara Andre or Susan Tripp if you have further questions.
ISS is here to assist you!
