Registration
All F-1
and J-1 students are required to register with the University each Fall
semester. All graduate students can register on-line, beginning Tuesday,
September 2nd. Students on a Leave of Absence who remain in the U.S. are
considered to be out of status by DHS. Reinstatement to valid F-1/J-1 status
may be difficult and time consuming.
If you have any questions
or concerns about your status, contact the OVS.
Address
change
AllF-1/J-1 students are required to report any
change of local U.S. address within 10 days of moving to another address.
Students must update their address in the
SCORE
system online (through the Registrar’s Office). The Registrar’s office will
notify the OVS of your new address. OVS will then report the change to
SEVIS on your behalf.
AllF-1/J-1 students are also required to
report any change of their permanent address in their home country in the
SCORE
system online.
