Special Considerations

It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the terms of your F-1 student status while in the United States.
-
In addition to the required materials that you upload to your Immigration check-in request, the International Student Services office will review your I-94 Arrival & Departure Record. Your I-94 record is an electronic arrival record. This was issued at the port of entry to the US and should indicate your current F-1 Status and your Date of arrival.

Finally, if you have any questions about maintaining your F-1 student status, please meet with an advisor during our walk-in hours.
