If you have an I-20 with an End Date of May 16, 2021, you may need your I-20 adjusted since the university's scheduled commencement date has shifted to May 30, 2021. Here is what you need to know about how ISS will help you.

If you plan to:
...graduate this May and immediately return home, you do not need to take any action to extend your I-20 to May 30, 2021. ISS staff will automatically extend your I-20 starting in April. ISS will not automatically print a copy of this extended I-20. If you would like one, you can request a reprinted I-20 at that time. Instructions will be provided to request the reprint.

...graduate later than May 30, 2021 because you need more time to complete your studies, you will need to request an extension for your I-20. You can submit this request at this link any time starting in March. Following the instructions in the link, you will work with your academic advisor (graduate students) or Undergraduate Dean (undergraduate students) to affirm your need for an extension. ISS cannot extend I-20s after they expire, so it is important you file this before the middle of May.

...graduate and apply for OPT, you will not need to request any adjustment to your I-20 to reflect the May 30, 2021 end date. Your end date will automatically be adjusted when your OPT I-20 is created. To find more information on the OPT application process, please read this page.

ISS has emailed all students with an I-20 End Date of May 16, 2021. If you think that you received this email in error or have another situation not listed above, please email ISS at international@case.edu or speak with an advisor during Advising Hours.
