Important - International Student Registration

Please complete the International Student Registration Form after you arrive on campus for every semester until you have graduated:

It is required that the university keep the records of all our international students updated in the government's SEVIS database that was used to issue your I-20. When you arrive at the beginning of each semester you will have to complete an International Student Registration Form so we may update your record and verify your arrival at school.

This is a very important procedure and must be done at the start of every semester. In addition to completing the form please bring us a copy of your I-94 (white card). You may fax, copy or scan this card.

You may complete the International Student Registration Form online, or you may visit South Hall to complete a paper form. You may also use this form to update your record at any time with changes to your address, phone, email, etc.
