Announcements for the Week of October 27 to November 3 2011
International Student Signing Days and Travel Preparation
As in the past, the International Student Advisors are setting aside a number of times where F-1 students can drop by the UC 116 to obtain a travel signature (required for re-entry to the U.S. after international travel) and talk with an advisor regarding any travel or visa preparations. We encourage ALL students traveling outside of the U.S. over winter break to take advantage of coming to the office during "signing days" as it will ensure an expedited I-20 signature and makes the travel signature process more efficient for our students and the ISSO. In addition we will provide some light snacks to enjoy in case there is a short wait time to see an advisor. In order to ensure that the travel signing process is smooth and efficient for ALL involved, please complete the questions below A MINIMUM of 48 hours PRIOR to the date you intend to come by the UC 116 to get your I-20 signed for travel. Be sure to bring the MOST RECENT issued I-20 form to signing day. Students should remember that registration for the spring 2012 semester must be completed before bringing your I-20 to an advisor during a signing day. Spring registration opens November 8; contact your academic department for details on registration and to learn if you need a code to register or if you will be registered by your academic advisor.
