New Process to Request an
I-20 or DS-2019 Extension


Effective October 1, ISS will accept I-20 extension requests through Terra Dotta.  This will be a paper-free process except for the new, extended I-20 or DS-2019 that is generated by the end!

Students will initiate the request and fill out some required information within Terra Dotta.  One required field will ask students to identify an advisor who will then be contacted to upload information to the system on behalf of the student. Undergraduates should list their Dean in Undergraduate Studies.  Graduate students should list their academic advisor.

Advisors will review all of the material and contact students by email when their I-20s or DS-2019s are ready.

The link to the new request form is now live on the ISS website.
