| Announcements for April 23 to 30
Upcoming dates the ISSO will not have walk-in advising hours
Please note that the ISSO will not have walk-in advising hours the following days: Friday April 27 and Monday April 30. Please plan accordingly. The ISSO will be open these days for drop offs and pick-ups from 8:15am to 5:00pm but no International Student Advisor will be available due to scheduled events and commitments outside of the office. Please plan accordingly. Email visahelp@uah.edu in advance if you need to schedule an appointment before/after these days.
Safe Ride Providing free transportation for students from off-campus back to campus late-night weekends
If you find yourself in an unsafe situation off-campus, without a designated driver, or any other situation where you don't have a way to get back to campus, then call the UAHuntsville Safe Ride program. Safe Ride is available from Thursday to Saturday, 11 pm to 3 am and will provide transportation only to campus. The phone number is 256-539-9444. You will need to present your Charger ID card to the driver.
Due to the end of the semester being a high volume time for the ISSO please be patient when dropping off or emailing international student advisors, we aim to process requests in a few days but please expect that 1-2 weeks processing times is not unusual.
Are you traveling outside of the United States during summer?
If you plan to leave the U.S. during the summer semester you need a travel signature on your SEVIS I-20 record to get back in (along with your passport, visa, etc). You must be registered for the fall 2012 semester PRIOR to dropping off your I-20. Signatures of DSOs (international student advisors) are technically good for 1 year while you are a full time student but the ISSO likes to sign every semester to show the students good faith effort in reporting and sharing travel plans with the international student advisors.
Please drop off your new I-20 with a completed request form with all travel information and passport expiration date, etc. Also you should ensure that the I-20 is accurate (major, financial information, etc)
If you are traveling and do not have a travel signature please drop off your I-20 very soon with the completed form to give advisors adequate time to fulfill your request.
