Requests and Handouts
ISS Connect
ISS Connect is your International Student Portal. During your time at Pace, all requests to International Students and Scholars (ISS) will be submitted in ISS Connect.
- New students receive an Invitation Email to ISS Connect. To access ISS Connect for the first time, you must use the link in that Invitation Email.
- Continuing students who already have access should log in to ISS Connect with their Pace credentials.
- OPT holders will use the "I no longer have access to my UID" button to log in with the email and password associated with their ISS Connect. account.
Once logged in, navigate to the Requests tab, and click on the request you would like to submit.
