The adviser helps international students maintain their non-immigrant student visa status by issuing and processing the necessary immigration documents and by interpreting relevant immigration rules and regulations. This office also is required by law to monitor the academic progress of students and to inform the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service of changes in a student's status. The international student adviser is your primary link with individuals, families and organizations on campus and in the city. The adviser provides information on campus organizations and activities, community programs and cultural events in the city that contribute to making your stay in the United States a pleasant and rewarding experience. Both rooms and apartments are furnished, but students must provide their own towels, bed linens, pillows, blankets and bedspreads.
Laundry facilities are available in each residence hall.
Accommodations are not available for married students. Students accepted to VCU will receive a housing application with the letter of admission. The application must be returned with an advance rental payment to reserve a room. Housing is assigned in the order in which applications are received. If the demand for on-campus housing exceeds the space available, students may be temporarily housed off campus.
