DATELINE OISS IS GOING ON SUMMER VACATION
Dateline OISS will resume publication in late August. If there are any important changes in immigration
policy, we will send out a notification email, so make sure to check your NYU email account regularly.
ADDRESS UPDATES
All F-1 and J-1 students must maintain a local U.S. address and an international address in their NYU record. If you move, you must
update your address on-line via Albert within 10 days. For an international address update, you must go in-person to the NYU Registrar's Office. Stern graduate students, law, dental and medical students must go to their school's
registrar.
NOTIFY THE OISS OF STUDY ABROAD OR LEAVE OF ABSENCE PLANS
If you will study or conduct research abroad in fall 2008, notify the OISS now of your plans. An advisor
will provide you with the necessary requirements to keep your status active. If you plan to take a Leave of Absence
in the fall semester, speak with an OISS advisor right away to discuss whether you are eligible to remain in the U.S.
DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER FULL TIME FOR THE FALL 2008 SEMESTER
All continuing F-1 and J-1 students must register full-time for the fall 2008 semester by the start of classes,
September 2. If you are a graduate student and are working on a thesis, you may be eligible for full-time equivalency. Contact your academic department or the OISS for more information. If fall 2008 will be your final semester, submit a part-time enrollment form.
