How does Southwestern report international student information to the U.S. government?
When international students arrive at Southwestern they should take their visa, I-20, and I-94 card to the Admissions Office so copies can be made to go into their admissions file. If an international student enters the U.S. with an I-20 from Southwestern but does not enroll at Southwestern or if an international student drops out, Southwestern will notify the U.S. government through the Student & Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) as required by U.S. law. It is imperative all international students on an I-20 notify in advance the International Student Advisor if they plan to transfer to another school in the U.S. or if they plan to drop below the 12 minimum required hours of classes.
