The Office of International Programs and Development (OIPD) is dedicated to assisting you in all aspects of being a student at this University. We will work with the admissions department and residence life office to get you started. We will arrange to pick you up at the airport and provide an orientation upon arrival. Throughout your student life here at Saint Martin's, the OIPD will provide academic and personal advising and assist you with medical insurance and immigration compliance.

Our staff organizes activities throughout the year to help international students explore American culture, share their culture with the Saint Martin's University community and have a lot of fun with other students.
