Welcome, International Students and Scholars, to California and the University of California, Davis!

On behalf of Global Affairs and the Services for International Students and Scholars (SISS) staff, we warmly welcome you to UC Davis. Our team is dedicated to supporting your academic and career success. We look forward to helping you achieve your goals and maximize your experience here. The diverse global community at UC Davis is a part of what makes us great. By exchanging ideas, knowledge, cultures and values, we create a more inclusive and resilient world. UC Davis remains committed to being a welcoming space for all, and we continue to advance justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. These values are at the heart of the UC Davis Global Affairs mission. 

We recognize that this is a time of deep challenges and hardship for many around the world. Global conflicts, natural disasters and social injustices have intensified, reminding us of our shared responsibility to foster empathy, inclusivity and support across borders. Your SISS advisors are here to answer your questions and help you plan your time in the United States. Whether you are navigating new policies, overcoming academic challenges, or achieving career goals, our team is ready to provide the support and resources you need to succeed.
