What is the purpose of this referral?
A referral to the University Center for International Studies (UCIS) should be made when a student expresses interest in international studies credentials; resources and scholarships that support research and study abroad; and the events, professional development opportunities, and social activities for students interested in a particular world region or global theme.
This referral should be used for students on the Pittsburgh Campus unless the student is transferring from a regional campus.
What action will be taken?
UCIS will respond to the student with a personalized email. If detail is provided in the additional comments box, the email will likely refer them to an academic advisor in a particular UCIS center (African Studies, Asian Studies, etc.). If no detail is provided, the email will refer the student to general UCIS resources and a list of advisors in each program. The email will be sent within one week.
When will the referral be closed?
The case will be closed when referrals have been made, or when it is determined that no follow up is necessary.
