<p><strong>Please Note</strong>: Clicking on these links will take you to the website of a different department, <strong>International Student Services (ISS) at SIUE.</strong> However, please be aware that many items posted on the ISS website are designed for students who will come here for 2 to 4 years to earn a diploma at SIUE. If you browse various information posted on the ISS site, you may see deadlines, procedures, and arrival dates that conflict with the information we have provided on your site. The info on our website was prepared especially for J-1 business exchange students. For instance - as an exchange student, you are not required to purchase health insurance from SIUE, as the ISS website indicates. In cases where information you see on the ISS site conflicts with what you have been told by our office, please adhere to the protocols posted on our <strong>School of Business International Program</strong> <a href="http://www.siue.edu/business/international/spring.shtml" target="_blank">website</a>. </p>
