When should the Immigration Check-in be completed?

• International students in F-1 or J-1 status should complete the Immigration Check-In as soon as possible upon admission into the United States but no later than the start date of classes.
• Students who are transferring their F-1 SEVIS record to ²ÊÃñ±¦µä must complete the check-in form within 15 days of their F-1 program start date as reflected on the Form I-20.
