End of Semester Reminders

Before you leave campus for break, ask yourself these important questions and visit the links if you need to take action:

Do I need to extend your I-20 or DS-2019?

Do I need to transfer your SEVIS Record?

Am I fully prepared to travel during the break so that I can return to campus smoothly?

Do you have more questions that you need help answering?  Get in touch with ISS staff during advising hours before you leave campus.  Keep in mind that ISS closes whenever the university is officially closed. If you ever have doubts about our availability, we strongly recommend that you call the office before planning your visit.

ISS' Thanksgiving Hours

ISS and the Center for International Affairs will be closing at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27 and the entire university will be closed in observance of Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29. Normal business hours will resume on Monday, December 2. Please plan your visit to ISS accordingly, especially if you need to pick up any documentation or request a travel signature for this break or the upcoming winter break.

Chat Box for Virtual Advising Gets New URL in Website Refresh

You may have noticed that the ISS homepage looks a little different.  We did some reorganizing of our content with the goal of helping you find information more easily.

The virtual advising chat box has been relocated to a new webpage and remains active, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 11am to 1pm.

If you’re having trouble finding information that you have bookmarked, please feel free to contact ISS and we’ll be glad to point you in the right direction.
