This paper consists of two parts. Section I summarizes the author's experiences in Japan during 1971 when he served as a Visiting Consultant on Student Counseling Services to the U. S. Educational Commission, Japan. It was concluded that the need for the counseling service is high, student counseling roles must be firmly established, and the existing program of counseling services needs expansion. Limitations due to staff and budget are recognized, but information resources must be expanded and improved. Section II of this report contains suggestions for improving overseas communication methods. These suggestions were: (1) decide institutional roles, requirements, and policies regarding enrollment of foreign students; (2) evaluate catalogs and publications for foreign students, and (3) evaluate the system and procedure for serving foreign students. It is hoped that the reader will find a number of basic principles and examples of action designed to solve problems, that will encourage one to contribute to the area of services to foreign students.
