The International and Distance Learning Students Office advocates for the special concerns of international and distance learning students, raises and maintains awareness of their issues within KISWCD, and promotes the spiritual, social and professional development of the students. In case of Visas and Pupils passes, the principal’s office oversees the process and assists where necessary.
