Connect with DSO/International Student Advisor | Use the International Student Lobby to connect with your DSO/International StudentAdvisor. Designated school officials serve as liaisons between international students, HCC and the U.S. government. DSOs issue necessary immigration forms, guide students through the process of studying in the U.S., maintain records in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, known as SEVIS, and more.
