ISSO Walk-In Advising Hours
The University is open and the ISSO staff will be working all summer, with the exception of two University holidays, Monday, May 30th (Memorial Day) and Monday, July 4th (Independence Day). Due to a temporary decrease in staff, the International Student and Scholar Office is temporarily changing our walk-in advising hours for the summer. Students who plan on coming to the office to meet with an Advisor do not need an appointment during walk-in times. Effective Friday, May 20th, the ISSO will not have walk-in advising hours on Mondays or Fridays.
The revised walk-in advising hours below will be in effect from Friday, May 20th- Friday, August 5th
Tuesdays
10am to 12pm (NOON) and 1:30 to 4:00pm
Wednesdays
1:30 to 4:00pm
Thursdays
10am to 12pm (NOON) and 1:30 to 4:00pm
The office will not be open for students to meet with an advisor during non walk-in hours unless an appointment is confirmed with an international student advisor. The protocol for dropping off requests and picking up documentation outside of walk-in hours will be to take your student ID to Charger Central (UC 118). Should you have questions about your forms or requests plan to come during walk-in advising hours to ensure you will be able to meet with an advisor.
We do not anticipate a change in processing times and appreciate your understanding in making the office more efficient for the population we serve over the summer semester.
Appointments for the Week of May 31 to June 3
May 30 to June 3 Mona will be attending a professional conference. Ms. Reva will be available during 1:30-4:00pm walk-in advising hours Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (May 31-June 2nd). Any students who need to see an advisor outside of the Tuesday-Thursday afternoon advising hours MUST email baileyr@email.uah.edu Ms. Bailey will confirm via email any appointments scheduled directly with you. As we are notifying students over 2 weeks in advance we ask students to understand that last minute assistance cannot be accommodated.
Revised Finals Schedule
The university has announced a revised final exam schedule for those students choosing to take their exam. Students can log into their BANNER student account to view their grades as of April 27th to help make a decision if they want to take the final exam. If a grade is not yet listed it is because the faculty member has not yet had the ability to enter. All grades should be entered by early next week allowing time for students to make decisions regarding taking a final exam or not. If a student is not interested in taking a final exam then as soon as all of their grades have been submitted by faculty, the student can visit Charger Central to request a final transcript. The revised final exam schedule can be seen at http://uah.edu/news/images/revisedexamschedule.pdf
F-1 Off Campus Employment Workshops
If you have not attended an off campus employment workshop and are considering working off-campus in an internship or Co-op position or are completing degree requirements in August, sign up today. 2 workshops dates have been scheduled for the summer 2011 semester to accommodate student schedules. If based on attendance more workshops are needed advisors will add an additional workshop in late July. Students MUST attend a workshop before an advisor can meet to discuss individual questions.
Email visahelp@uah.edu to reserve your space and please clarify the date of the workshop you wish to attend.
Workshops are limited to 10 students each and will be held in Conference Room 116 in MADISON HALL.
Wednesday June 8 from 10:00 to 11:30am
Monday July 11 from 1:00 to 2:30pm
Thank you,
International Student Advisors
