In response to recent incidents involving the termination of immigration records for international students, The Graduate School has developed new guidance to support our international student community. This resource is designed to help graduate students and their advisors navigate federal education policy, manage uncertainty around visa status, and access timely assistance when challenges arise.
International graduate students holding F1 or J1 visas should stay in close contact with the International Student Services (ISS) at their campus (Seattle, Tacoma, Bothell). International graduate students also should stay in close contact with their local academic units, especially their advisors, Graduate Program Advisors (GPAs), and Graduate Program Coordinators (GPCs), since they are best positioned to assess a student’s possible path toward degree completion.
