International Affairs Office Locations

Our main office is located at Pegasus Park, a few minutes away from campus. However, our satellite office in the T. Boone Pickens Biomedical Building is where we see most of our visitors.

Our satellite office is available for new employees or visitors to check in before your first day of participation. Additionally, students, scholars, staff, and faculty can visit the satellite office on a walk-in basis.

You can schedule an appointment for issues that may require more time for advising. Please contact your designated senior immigration specialist for immigration advice.

You may also call the OIA at 214-648-0010.
