Required Check-In for New Students

Immigration regulations require F-1 and J-1 students to report to International Student & Scholar Services after they arrive in the United States. Students transferring to DU from another school or from the English Language Center must report to our office upon completing their previous program.

What to bring to Check-In


All students must bring: Some students may also need to bring:
  • Current I-20 or DS-2019
  • Current U.S. entry visa
  • Current passport
  • Last I-20 or DS-2019 from previous school (transfer students)
  • Current I-94 arrival/departure card (stapled inside passport)
  • Dependent(s) immigration documents if spouse and/or children have entered the United States (Passport, I-20, I-94 arrival/departure card, U.S. entry visa)
  •  Local U.S. address
  
  •  Emergency contact information (address and phone number)
  

* Sponsored students are students who are financially sponsored by their home government or cultural embassy. For help completing this form, please email Deborah Durkee at .

Removing Registration Holds

A registration hold from International Student and Scholar Services will remain active on your student account until we have copies of your immigration documents and you complete our required immigration regulations session. The INTL provisional hold will generally be removed within one business day of your having completed all required steps for check-in.

Students who have an INTL hold should check their emails from ISSS for instructions to get the hold removed. If you have not received an email from our office, please contact us by email at isss@du.edu for further instructions. We request that include your DU ID in the message to speed up our response.

Note for Non-SEVIS Students

If you are attending DU in an immigration status other than F-1 or J-1 status, you only need to submit copies of your immigration documents to our office. An INTL provisional hold will appear on your account if we do not have copies on record. You may email them to isss@du.edu or bring them to our office in person during walk-in hours.
