International Student Services Update (UW Seattle)
- ISS reg holds will be placed starting today 10/11/2023 for up to 150 new students who have not completed check-in
Students must be full-time before Oct 27 to avoid termination – assist int’l students will registering for classes to ensure FT enrollment
- Reminder that alhtough no academic approval required at UW to take a quarter off, immigration rules require approval for time off
- ISS does have access to EARS notes and they find them very helpful!
- ISS: We had int’l students who were on TA/RAships whose ISHIP charges were still showing up on their tuition statement after their appointments were activated. I know there is nothing they need to do to petition it to be removed, but it was hard to find the messaging around this for them. I don’t remember this happening in previous years, is there something else tied to this insurance being removed?
ISS (Seattle) – ISHIP – INTL students who will receive GAIP should not be charged for ISHIP if their GAIP appt has been processed. Go to https://iship.washington.edu/before-arriving-at-uw/ for info and students should actually contact the GAIP program is they have questions. It is my understanding that GAIP notifies ISHIP whose ISHIP charges should be removed if needed.
