Students in the United States are required by immigration law to follow certain regulations in order to maintain legal status in the United States. The International Center (IC) is responsible for advising international students on immigration law, regulations, and for processing various immigration documents. When coming to the IC for immigration matters, always bring your passport, I-94 card, and your I-20 or DS-2019.
It is your responsibility to know, understand and comply with immigration regulations. Please read e-mails sent to the ISO Listserv carefully. If you are not on the listserv click here for information on how to subscribe. If there is something you do not understand contact the IC. Do not rely on your friends for information on immigration matters.
