3 University at Albany Office of International Education FALL 2011 PROFILE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND SCHOLARS The number of international students at the University at Albany rose slightly in 2011, but the total number of countries represented declined. A total of 1,294 students from 84 countries are enrolled in Fall 2011 (compared to 1286 students from 94 countries in Fall 2010). The students represented in this report consist of graduate and undergraduate students, degree and non-degree, exchange students, and students involved in intensive English language study. These students are enrolled in 41 different departments in all nine Schools and Colleges. (N.B.: International students are defined as students who are here on a visa of any sort. In addition we have approximately 650 students who are citizens of other countries but who are legal permanent residents of the United States. These students, as well as those who are naturalized U.S. citizens, add to the diversity of our campus but do not fall under the purview of International Student and Scholar Services.) The number of international students enrolled in regular University courses is about the same as last year (1,179 in 2011 compared to 1,174 in 2010). The number of graduate international students declined considerably (656, from 691 in 2010 the lowest number in eleven years); the number of undergraduate students increased more than 8% (to 523, up from 483); the number of exchange students remained about the same (101 in 2011, compared to 104 in 2010); and the number of students in the Intensive English Language Program () went from 112 to 115. Of special note: Among the current international graduate students, we count 20 Fulbright students, 13 Fogarty Fellows, and 1 USAID scholarship recipient. While international undergraduate students make up only 4.1% of the undergraduate student body, their graduate counterparts comprise over 15% of the total number of graduate students enrolled. In several Schools and Colleges, they comprise 15-20% of the graduate student population (Arts and Sciences, Computing and Information, and Public Health). In two Colleges they represent an even larger percent of the student body (Rockefeller at 29% and CNSE at 32%). Our 101 exchange students come from 30 exchange partner universities in 13 countries. Most are enrolled in non-degree study for one or two semesters, but two graduate students and six undergraduate transfer students (all from Japan) will complete degrees here. Two graduate exchange students serve as teaching assistants for Chinese and German language instruction. continues to work with the Office of Admissions, offering conditional admission to international freshmen who do not meet the minimum English language requirements. currently has 115 students from 15 countries, and 68 are conditional admits. actively supports the University s international recruitment effort by attracting qualified students to both undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The Summer Academic Institute, a 4-week program offered from late July to mid-august, attracted 16 new international students. They attended classes 20 hours per week, polishing their English communication skills before enrolling in degree programs. The staff of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) work diligently to advise our students as to how to maintain status and take advantage of employment opportunities which may be accorded them by their visas. Since the Fall of 2003, regulations instituted by the Department of Homeland Security require all institutions to report electronically the status and movement of international students. Until this fall, when we moved to a batch process, we reported the activities of our students holding F and J visas (numbering 1200 this year) by manually registering each student via the RTI (Real-Time Interactive) interface with SEVIS (the Student and Visitor Information System). Maintaining status (for the students) and complying with federal regulations (for the University) are of paramount importance.

4 Students who fall out of status risk being deported and possibly barred from returning to the U.S. for several years. Failure to comply with government regulations could also jeopardize the University s right to admit and enroll international students. For these reasons, ISSS staff members make every effort to inform students of the regulations, assist them with compliance, and report students status in a timely and thorough manner. Reporting through batch students full time status, personal and program information allows us to streamline this aspect of our work and improve our compliance with Homeland Security regulations. Another function of ISSS is to provide visa documents for international scholars who come through the U.S. State Department s J-1 Visitor program, to conduct research at the University. In we hosted 58 visiting research scholars from 15 countries. They were (and in many cases, still are) involved in active research in a wide variety of departments (18 in total) in nearly all of our Schools and Colleges. These people add another dimension to the international flavor of our campus. Our international students and scholars have special needs when they first arrive, including but not limited to locating housing, negotiating the University bureaucracy, dealing with issues related to employment, health and insurance, and simply becoming comfortable in their new environment. We do our best to provide helpful information prior to arrival and offer a thorough orientation to the academic and social environment of the University during the week before classes begin. Our Buddy Program for new students in August matched 108 new international students with 41 returning American and international students who helped them adjust to life in the U.S. and at the University. Assisting new international graduate students and visiting scholars as they search for off-campus housing remains a serious challenge for us. During the academic year we present numerous group advisement sessions pertaining to immigration regulations and employment issues. We also offer a number of social events and field trips, such as apple picking, a clinic on American football before Homecoming, ice skating, skiing, rock climbing, treetop zip-lining, visits to the State Capitol and NYS Museum, and bus trips to New York City. With the help of a dedicated graduate assistant who arranges events and informs students of What To Do This Week (a weekly newsletter, supplemented with Facebook and Twitter), we are making every effort to help our international students and scholars integrate into campus life and life in Albany. The University at Albany continues to make strides in internationalizing our campus and community. We appreciate your interest in and continued support of a most valuable resource at the University our students and scholars from abroad!
