Action Plan appointments are designed to support international students with Academic, English Language, Financial, Mental Health and Social Transition. The appointments will provide you with a 1:1 session with the International Student Retention Facilitator (ISRF) to connect you with resources and refer you to workshops offered through ISS and campus partners.
During the meeting, the ISRF will work with you to help you identify your main challenges and develop an Action Plan: a personalized, step-by-step, referral guide and next steps to address your concerns. Please click on and fill out the Action Plan Intake Form (external link) before your appointment with the ISRF.
