OIP On-Line

OIP maintains a home page on the World Wide Web (WWW) with important information for the international student and scholar community at SFSU. Detailed information about all OIP-sponsored activities and events and a complete listing of all OIP-sponsored workshops for the current semester can also be found on our homepage.

Also included are links to other useful web sites concerning U.S. government-related sites (The Embassy Page, DHS, USIA, IRS, and links to U.S. embassies and consulates around the world).  You can access the OIP home page on the WWW by pointing your favorite WWW browser to the following address: http://www.sfsu.edu/~oip
