Mandatory Check-In Spring 2010

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requires that all new and transfer F-1 and J-1 students report their arrival to NYU. The OISS offers Check-In workshops to enable students to meet this requirement. Failure to attend a mandatory Check-In workshop may jeopardize your ability to remain legally in the U.S.

At the workshop, the OISS will verify that your immigration documents are correct and explain your legal responsibilities. The workshop will last approximately 45 minutes. Arrive at least 15 minutes early, as latecomers are NOT admitted.

Sign up for a workshop today by clicking on a date in the workshop schedule below. You should attend a workshop as soon as possible upon your arrival. Latecomers will not be admitted. Limited seating.

Location: Silver Center, #11 on the map (Enter at 31 Washington Place OR 32 Waverly Place.)

Documents to bring:
