International Student & Scholar Affairs (ISSA)
Even before you arrive on campus, the International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA) team is preparing to ensure you can transition to life at Notre Dame seamlessly. The ISSA team can help navigate procedures with the Department of Homeland Security, manage timelines on visa and immigration papers, provide a comprehensive orientation to the university, and connect you with any necessary resources.
Financial Aid
The University of Notre Dame admissions evaluation process for undergraduate international applicants is need-blind. Your ability to pay is not considered when evaluating your application for admission. Prospective first-year international students wishing to be considered for need-based financial assistance must complete the CSS Profile (available October 1).
