"It is a pleasure for me to welcome you to the University of Central Oklahoma Office of International Services website. A graduate of UCO recently told me that our university is like a small city where you come in out of the rain.  Everything you need is right here:  a family atmosphere, friends, home style housing, the best medical services you will find at any university and a wide portfolio of undergraduate and graduate programs. The Office of International Student Services is here to handle all your needs.  We'll help with your admission, your visa, even make arrangements to pick you up at the airport.  From the time you walk into the airport to the time you walk across the stage to graduate, we are here for you."
