From May 27 to May 31, our office will be closed. May 27, Tulane University is closed in observance of Memorial Day. May 28- May 31, the entire OISS team will be attending the NAFSA Annual Conference. As the most important annual event for international educators, this conference will provide our team with vital updates and ideas that will help us to better serve our international community. As a bonus, we’re using this opportunity to update the carpet at 6901 Willow.

If you have any timely requests, such as an OPT, CPT, or Academic Training application or a program extension, please be sure to get complete application to your OISS advisor no later than Friday, May 17 to allow for 3 to 5 business days for processing. If not, we may not be able to complete your request before the conference.

During this time, we’ll be monitoring our email for true immigration emergencies, but please be sure to expect a delay in our response. We’ll still be there if you really need us.

Thank you for your cooperation,

The OISS Team

Inside Deming

Many international graduate students and scholars live in Deming.

While Graduate Students are encouraged to live off-campus, Tulane University offers downtown graduate student housing in the Deming Pavilion which is convenient and connected to the free university shuttle system. This location is also very convenient for enjoying restaurants and leisure activities in downtown New Orleans. Apply early, spaces are limited.
