Prospective International Students

Read the online materials carefully before submitting your application. After you apply, we will email you frequently about the status of your application and request any necessary documents.

When emailing the office, please address your question to one person only. Sending the same email to several staff members decreases our ability to respond to your questions in a timely manner.

Accepted International Students

After receiving your acceptance packet, follow the 10 Easy Steps to Enroll in SUNY Plattsburgh. Before you schedule your visa appointment, please read our F-1 visa requirements page. Know what to expect at the visa interview by consulting our visa tips page. Finally, browse through the orientation pages for practical information about banking, cell (mobile) phones, computers, health insurance and much more.

Current International Students

Current students have plenty of questions regarding immigration, employment, health insurance, and other academic/personal matters. We ask you to review the information on the Current Students website before scheduling an appointment with an advisor.
