Announcements for the Week of June 9 to 16 2011

ISSO Walk-In Advising Hours

The University is open all summer, with the exception of two holidays, Monday May 30^thth (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.

Effective Friday May 20^th, 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 14^th 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.

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 and one remains.  Students MUST attend a workshop before an advisor can meet to discuss individual questions.

Email visahelp@uah.edu  to reserve your space for Monday July 11 from 1:00 to 2:30pm. All workshops are limited to 10 students each and will be held in Conference Room 116 in MADISON HALL.
