[NewIntlStudents] When can students register for courses at A&M-Commerce?

[New International Students]

All new international students to Texas A&M University-Commerce are required to check-in with an International Student Advisor at the International Student Services office in person before they may register for classes.  All new students will have a registration hold on their student account that will be lifted only after the student has completed check-in in person with the ISSO.  All new students must also attend International Student Orientation on Wednesday, January 14, 2015.  Students may enter the U.S. no more than 30 days prior to the start date for their I-20 (January 14, 2015) and the ISSO has provided check-ins in both December and early January for students.
