U.S. federal regulations require all new F-1 and J-1 international students check-in with their school. International students were issued immigration documents by the UW with an autumn 2022 program start date, whether it is their first time in the U.S., transferring from another U.S. school, or starting a new degree level, are considered new students and require this check-in so we can notify the government the student has arrived and then activate their immigration record. At the UW, the check-in process is 100% online and can be completed through the MyISSS immigration portal. Please read the attachment for steps and links.
