We provide comprehensive immigration-related advising services and offer a variety of programming and events to actively engage international students and scholars on-campus and throughout the City of Chicago.
Important Reminders
Maintain your Status
It is your responsibility to and ensure that all documentation remains accurate and up to date. This includes making normal academic progress, keeping a valid and unexpired passport and Form I-20/DS-2019, and obtaining proper work authorization before beginning any employment. Additionally, you must report any changes in your address to ISSS and ensure your immigration documents are always current.

- for most recent entry
- Status-specific documentation (I-20, DS-2019, I-797)
