Announcements for the Week of May 26 to June 2 2011


ISSO Walk-In Advising Hours

The University is open all summer, with the exception of two holidays, Monday May 30thth (Independence Day).  Due to decreased staff in the International Student and Scholar Office we are 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. (Memorial Day) and Monday July 4

Effective Friday May 20th, the ISSO does not have walk-in advising hours on Mondays or Fridays. Revised walk-in advising hours will remain in effect until Monday August 14th and are:

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-ins will be to take your student ID to Charger Central (UC 118).  Should you have questions about your forms or requests please come during walk-in advising hours to be sure 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 NEXT week:  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  and CC visahelp@uah.edu. Ms. Bailey will confirm via email any appointments scheduled directly with you.  As we are notified students over 2 weeks in advance we ask students to understand that last minute assistance cannot be accommodated. 

Afternoon walk-in advising hours on Tuesday May 31, Wednesday June 1, and Thursday June 2 will be from 1:30 to 4:00pm.  All other times will be by appointment only during May 31 to June 3.

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.  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.  

All 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

On Campus Employment Clarification for Summer Semester

F-1 students are eligible to work on campus for no more than 20 hours per week during mandatory semesters (fall and spring at UAHuntsville). Immigration laws do not limit F-1 students’ ability to work on-campus during the summer semester therefore; an F-1 student can work as many hours as UAHuntsville policy allows for any student employment position. 


Thank you,
International Student Advisors
International Student and Scholar Office
