Please remember to CHANGE YOUR LIVING ADDRESS in BANNER or in Charger Central (UC 118)
It
is imperative that all F-1 and J-1 students have active physical living
addresses as that is a requirement by Immigration while you are in the
United States. You can either change your living address in BANNER or
Charger Central UC 118 but that must be updated at all times. No need to
notify the ISSO, we'll automatically see the change from Banner or
Charger Central and update your Immigration record.
