It is important for international students to maintain their immigration status for the duration of their stay in the United States in order to complete their academic objectives.  It is the student’s responsibility to know reporting requirements for the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), maintain full-time enrollment, obtain prior approval from the ISSS office for certain academic actions or before beginning employment, and communicate with advisors at the ISSS office throughout their academic program.

Students should review topics outlined on the left-hand side menu to learn how to maintain their immigration status.
