Don't Forget to Complete ISSO Online Check-In for Spring 2013!
Jan. 07, 2013
We hope you enjoyed a relaxing and productive break! Below are a couple important reminders in preparation for your Spring 2013 semester:
Complete your ISSO Online Check-In for Spring 2013
When you arrive on campus, please complete your ISSO Online Check-In for Spring 2013. Even if you are studying abroad, as an international student, you are required to complete check-in at the beginning of every semester until you graduate.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For students who have traveled outside of the U.S., submit the ISSO Online Check-In Form AFTER you arrive in the United States (you cannot check in if you have not yet arrived in the U.S.).
ISSO Check-In involves scanning your visa documents and submitting the online form. It should take about 10 minutes to complete. If you have a new I-20 or DS-2019 at the ISSO, please pick it up at the ISSO first and scan that one for Online ISSO Check-In. Computers and scanners are available for use in the Goldfarb Library.
Do not take photos of your visa documents. If you submit photos, you will be asked to submit scanned PDF files. Photos will not be accepted.
Submit your ISSO Check-In form as soon as possible after you arrive in the U.S. Your ISO Hold will be removed within one business day of your complete ISSO Check-In.
Register for Spring 2013 Classes
Register for classes as early as you can. An ISO Registration Hold is placed on all new and returning international student Sage accounts starting on January 14th. This hold is removed only when you complete your ISSO Online Check-In. All students must complete ISSO Online check-in. We adhere to a very strict 'no exceptions' policy.
As always, please feel free to contact the ISSO at isso@brandeis.edu if you have any questions.
Welcome back!
