the International Student Services Office (ISSO) to check-in before they can register
for classes.</span></b> For a list of documents/information required for
check-in please go to <a

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:red;background:yellow;mso-highlight:
yellow'>The ISSO strongly discourages students from arriving late to Commerce
to begin their studies</span></b> because students may face a number of
difficulties including the following: port of entry may delay or deny
your late entry into the U.S., students cannot register for classes until they
check-in with an international advisor, late arrivals may have to secure
permission from the instructor(s) and dean of the college to register late, and
classes are filling up very quickly and students may have difficulty in finding
enough classes to satisfy USCIS’s enrollment requirements. For more
information please go to <a
