International Students must register with Texas Global when they arrive in Austin. Texas Global assists with: 

  • visa applications
  • extensions and changes.
  • Provide tax services
  • financial services
  • orientation and advising for students.


Students should go to Texas Global for all visa questions including applications, extensions/renewals, Curricular Practical Training or Optional Practical Training applications. The Graduate Program Administrator can provide signatures and confirmation letters from the department, as needed.


International studies will see an additional $125 ISSS fee and required health insurance premiums on their tuition bill each semester. These fees may be covered by your P.I.
