• Following the University’s “Protect the Nest” plan, face coverings are required for all visitors to the International Village.
• We will continue using technology to limit face to face meetings as much as possible. Please call (573-986-6863) or email (international@semo.edu) before coming to the office.
• International Student Services is not holding drop-in office hours. Please contact Dr. Brooke at dso@semo.edu if you have issues related to international student regulations.
• We encourage anyone who does visit the International Village to bring a computer or smart phone. For visitors who do not contact us beforehand, we will use a virtual meeting system to allow the visitor to speak with an OIES representative. Having your own device will make this process simpler and safer.
