Important reminder for new UConn international students!
All international students on F-1 and J-1 visas must complete the “Immigration Check-in” with International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) upon arrival in the United States. You should complete
your immigration check in with ISSS in the first days after your arrival, and no later than
August 28 (start day of the semester). Failure to check-in may result in the termination of your SEVIS record and I-20/DS-2019. This is a requirement of your student visa.
Follow the Arrival
Checklist step by step to complete your immigration check-in.
You may complete check-in from a personal computer, or you may also
visit
ISSS on the Storrs campus to complete the check-in in our computer room. New international students in Stamford or Hartford campus may visit the
Stamford
or Hartford ISSS office during drop-in advising hours if you have questions about the check-in process. All other students please email
[log in to unmask] if you have questions regarding
check-in.
Before completing your
online
check-in, you will need to save certain documents in electronic format (pdf or jpg). These documents are listed below:
To prepare your documents, you may use the scanner at ISSS (Storrs), or scanners available in your campus’ library. If you have a smartphone you may take a picture of your documents, but you must
make sure they are clear and easy to read.
If your plans have changed and you will NOT study at UConn, please reply to this message immediately to let us know of your cancellation, and destroy your UConn Form I-20/DS-2019 (do not use it to
enter the U.S.).
Returning Students: Returning students do not need to check in, but if you have traveled during the summer and have received
a new passport, visa or I-94, you must submit a copy to ISSS, by submitting the
Immigration
Document Update in the ISSS Portal. You should also remember to print a new I-94 for your own records, and to verify that you have been properly admitted in your correct visa status,
for D/S (duration of status).
