December- Changes in ISS Availability
ISS will have different hours of operations over the next few weeks. This schedule will be updated as needed to help you plan your visit to ISS.
On all other days, ISS will operate and offer advising hours as usual.
ISS does close when the university closes for scheduled breaks and inclement weather. If you're ever in doubt about ISS staff's availability, we strongly recommend that you call in advance of visiting the office; we don't want you to be out in the cold, snowy weather if we're not available to help you! If you have an immigration-related emergency, contact CWRU Security at 216.368.3300 and dispatch will know how to reach an ISS staff member.
...AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP!
The staff in ISS, University Counseling Services (UCS), and many, many other student service professionals across our campus are ready to help students through finals and can help them prepare a strategic approach if things have not gone as well as they had hoped.
Connect with your faculty advisor or stop by to see your Navigator for assistance.
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.
Important Tax Info: Make Sure You Get Your W-2!
Every year, ALL individuals in F and J status must file taxes- including spouses, young children- even if they haven't earned any income!
The W-2 is a critical document for properly filing taxes. Every year between January and February, the university generates W-2 documents for individuals who have earned income from CWRU.
When your W-2 is generated, it's sent to your Permanent Address as listed in SIS. Please take a moment to verify that your correct Permanent Address is listed in SIS (make any updates as needed by December 15) to ensure that you'll receive your W-2.
If your Permanent Address is current, but you would prefer to have your W-2 sent to another address, it is necessary for you to include that address under the W-2 Override option in SIS no later than December 15. Using the W-2 Override function will maintain the integrity of your Permanent Address information and ensure that you receive your W-2 at the different, preferred address.
Please contact Payroll if you have questions about receiving your W-2.
