Travel in and out of the U.S. is recorded electronically by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through the I-94 Arrival/Departure Record for all international non-immigrant visitors to the U.S. This important record lists your entry date, port of entry, and visa status in which you were admitted to the U.S. The I-94 record may be required as proof of status for F-1 or J-1 benefit applications, employment verification, and other official purposes.

You will be required to submit an electronic copy of your I-94 record as part of the OISS immigration check in process. Learn more and access your I-94 Record

Hopefully, all new students will have completed the required online orientation course prior to arrival to Â鶹´«Ã½. If you have not enrolled in and completed or still need to complete sections of the course, please do so as soon as possible! The "Certificate of Completion" of this course will be required to complete immigration check-in with OISS.

All students who have entered the U.S. using an initial or transferred SEVIS ID are required to complete "Immigration Check-in" via the OISS portal, including:

• Newly admitted students arriving from abroad.
• Newly admitted transfer students arriving from elsewhere in the U.S.
• Students returning from a leave of absence of more than 5 months.

International Student Orientation is an opportunity for students to learn about Â鶹´«Ã½ — including meeting their OISS Advisor, learning about immigration requirements, preparing for the academic year, and making connections with other international students. We offer two separate programs in the fall term that are specific to the academic level: International Wildcat Welcome for undergraduate (bachelor's) level students and GISO for graduate (master's and PhD) level students. 

Students arriving to begin studies in Winter, Spring or Summer terms

OISS will provide virtual orientation for students arriving to begin studies at Â鶹´«Ã½ in Winter, Spring or Summer terms.
