Once you are admitted to the U.S. in F-1 or J-1 status, it is your
responsibility to meet certain obligations in order to maintain your student
status. When you signed your Form I-20 or DS-2019 and used this document to
enter the United States in F-1 or J-1 student status, you certified that you
understood the terms and conditions concerning your admission and stay in the
United States. It is imperative that you review the "Instructions to Students"
of your Form I-20 (F-1 status) or the "Instructions for the Alien Beneficiary"
of your Form DS-2019 (J-1 status). Failure to comply with these regulations will
result in the loss of your student status and subject you to deportation. You
should consult your Designated School Official (DSO) if you have any questions
regarding your nonimmigrant student status or the terms of your admission. You
should consult your DSO before taking any action that could result in a
violation of your nonimmigrant student status. Although it is your
responsibility to maintain your immigration status, your DSO is here to assist
you. The certified Designated School Officials at Lee University are Phil Cook
and Renee Williams.
Some matters do
not require that you meet with your DSO. You may follow
these instructions when dealing with the following
matters:
To apply for a program
extension: Within
30 days before the expected completion date on your Form I-20, bring a
letter from your academic advisor including the reason for which an
extension is necessary and the anticipated date of completion.
To complete a transfer to Lee University (students
in F-1 status): Within 15 days of beginning
attendance at Lee University, bring your Form I-20 (you
need to complete #11 on this form) and Form I-20 from
your previous school to Admissions.
To continue in a different educational level at
Lee University (students in F-1 status): Bring your
Form I-20 from Admissions (on new I-20 you need to
complete #11 on this form) and Form I-94 to Admissions.
To obtain a certification of employment
eligibility for on-campus employment: Bring a letter
from your prospective on-campus employer, Social
Security number, academic transcript and Form I-94 to
the Human Resource Office in the Higginbotham
Administrative Building.
YOU MAY PICK UP YOUR DOCUMENTS AFTER 3 BUSINESS DAYS,
NOT BEFORE. |
