All Students: iCats
iCats
iCats is a software system that will make it easier for students to submit requests to International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS). It offers form submission and tracking through an online portal.
Here's how to get started:
1. Go to icats.ohio.edu and click on the green login button.
2. Login using your OHIO network ID and password (This is the same information you use to access your OHIO email).
3. On the left side menu, find either F-1 Student Services or J-1 Student Services, and click to see the forms available to you.
We would like your feedback! Our goal is to make this system as user friendly as we can. If you have feedback about confusing or unclear language, suggestions for improvements, of if you find an error, please let us know at isss@ohio.edu.
