How can International Advising help me?
UNO's international student advisers have many years of experience in advising students from all over the world; if you have a problem or a question, just ask - they have probably resolved a similar issue before.
It is helpful if you read these web pages thoroughly so that you fully understand your legal obligations and other important notices regarding your education and your stay in the United States. Check back frequently for updates and important reminders. If you don't find the answer to your question here, call 402.554.2293 or stop by Arts and Sciences Hall 241 to make an appointment.
Remember that international student advisers are not your academic adviser. For guidance on choosing a course of study or enrolling in the proper courses, or to clear an advising hold on your registration, contact the academic advisor in your college or department. If you don't know who your academic advisor is, check out the contacts for your college at UNO's Academic Advising portal.
You can also check out the Welcome Guide for international and domestic students to prepare for life as a UNO Maverick!
