Teaching International Students
International students enrich the WCU academic community and provide new perspectives
to the teaching/learning environment. Each culture is different and requires special
knowledge about the culture's social norms, religious viewpoints, and cultural expectations.
Things to keep in mind when working with international students
Advising International Students
Please remember that since international students are on a student visa to study in
the United States, there are certain restrictions regarding course load, withdrawing
from classes, documented illness, working off-campus, student participation in internships,
that must be reported to the International Student Advisor or the international student
could compromise his/her visa status.
If you have any questions about this, consult the IPS website for information about maintaining F-1 visa status or J-1 visa status or email the International Student Advisor, Chris Pedo at mailto:copedo@wcu.edu.
