If your students plans on doing OPT, CPT, academic training (for J-1 students) or start a new on-campus job, there are many things they need to consider in order to maintain their legal status.

Program Completion
Remember that the F-1 or J-1 immigration status ends as soon as the students have completed all degree requirements. The immigration status only lasts until the students have met all of the enrollment requirements for their degree program.

Workshop: Protected Class of National Origin
OIS is partnering with the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity to provide a workshop focused on the protected class of national origin on February 13th at Admin Services Bldg II, Room 101, from 10:00AM-12:00PM. Participants in this session gain an understanding of culture, cultural awareness, and the relationship between assumptions, values, attitudes, and behaviors as they evaluate their own cultural values and learn tools for promoting positive interaction with foreign visitors. Through this session, participants learn the definition of "national origin" and how it relates to ethnicity and culture. Participants also identify cross-cultural mis-communication and gain insights into foreign nationals' experience in the United States. Please register

Please consider attending our workshop on February 26th at Withers Hall. OIS is partnering with the Office of International Employment to present you with advantages and disadvantages of both.
