The Duke International Student Center (DISC) and UNC’s International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office offer many kinds of support to international students. Please note that soon after you arrive, you should consult with them about getting an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) or SSN (Social Security Number). They will tell you more about their suggestions and procedures. These are required for filing taxes in the US.
