NOTICE: 
We hope that you and your family are safe and managing in these unprecedented times.  Along with an entire nation, we at International Student Service have dramatically adjusted how we live and work in the face of Covid-19.

FDU moved to virtual business operations as a precaution against the spread of Covid-19.  We want to assure you that we are still available and ready to help you.

We are still taking appointments (whether you want to speak on the phone or zoom room), we are also still processing requests, with small exceptions* and advising as required.

You can still call us at 201-692-2743 to leave a message for any of the DSO's or to request an appointment.                                

Both Campuses will be close as follows:
