[International Students]

Just a reminder that the ISSO will host walks for travel signatures the week of December 1st.  Students may visit the ISSO between 1pm-4pm Monday through Friday (December 1-5) to receive a travel signature while they wait.  Please note that these walk in times are ONLY for travel signatures and will not be processed in conjunction with other requests.  Travel signature requests outside of the walk in times the week of December 1 will be processed within 5 business days.  Emergency travel signature requests will not be considered.

A travel signature is valid for one year from the date of the signature for students to re-enter the U.S.  Please be sure to check your I-20 on the last page to verify if you have a signature and the date of the signature.
