USIT has said it is working closely with partners in the United States and Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs to ensure those travelling on a J1 visa this summer are "fully prepared with valid documentation and guidance in advance of their planned departure date".
It comes after the Union of Students in Ireland called on those going on a J1 this summer to be "cautious" about the potential risks involved in "activism" while on the visa in the US this year.
On Tuesday, the USI called on Irish authorities to provide clarity on these issues, ensuring that students are fully aware of their rights and responsibilities while participating in the J1 programme.
USIT, which specialises in work-abroad programmes in the United States, told RTÉ News that while travel guidance remains in place, it wants to "continue to remind all travellers to respect immigration procedures and local laws at every stage of their trip".
"Support is available throughout the J1 experience via USIT’s dedicated service, US sponsor partners, and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through its embassies and consulates in the US," it said in a statement.
Every year USIT organises thousands of J1 work and travel programme visas for Irish students in full-time third-level education, which allows them to visit and work in the United States.
Since taking office, US President Donald Trump has announced a number of immigration-related executive orders that focus on stricter border policy, tighter visa-vetting procedures and a crackdown on undocumented migrants in the US.
This includes US immigration authorities looking at social media accounts and denying visas or residence permits to people who post content considered anti-Semitic by Mr Trump's administration.
The move comes after the Trump administration controversially cancelled visas for students inside the US.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said late last month that he has stripped visas for some 300 people and was doing so on a daily basis.
The USI said any actions that threaten students' ability "to freely express their views are deeply concerning and undermine the principles of free speech and democratic engagement".
