    CU Denver Day of Giving is April 6!

    CU Denver is committed to making education work for all; this includes international students who are abruptly faced with a financial crisis. Unexpected disasters at home – massive flooding, earthquakes, medical emergencies, losses in family incomes -- have affected more than one of the university’s international students.

    Getting Started

    The International Scholar Services unit assists the various CU Denver and Anschutz HR and Immigration Administrators in bringing international professors, researchers, postdoctoral fellows, short-term scholars, specialists, and international visitors for a variety of professional activities.

    Most international applicants will need paperwork from the university in order to apply for an appropriate visa to work as an employee or visit the campus. CU Denver/Anschutz hosts scholars in the B-1/WB, J-1, H-1, TN, O-1 & E-3 visa categories. International applicants who have access to F-1 Optional Practical Training, F-1 Curricular Practical Training, J-1 Academic Training, or an Employment Authorization Document issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Naturalization Service can also be employed by the University.
