International Student Services (ISS) provides advice on immigration, and cross cultural matters to all international students at Lesley.  ISS advises students about F-1 visa status, travel, and benefits.  We also sponsor programs designed to build connections amongst international students, and between international and domestic students.

 

Maintaining F-1 Status

Remember these main points of maintaining F-1 status:

  • Check in with ISS
    • When you first arrive at Lesley, please bring your immigration documents to ISS
  • Register full-time
    • That’s 12 units for undergraduates or 9 units for graduate students
  • Keep ISS up-to-date
    • We need to have your current address, email address, and phone number on file
  • Don’t work without prior authorization
    • Come to a monthly F-1 workshop, check out our website, or meet with us to learn about getting authorized for employment or internships.

If you have any questions or concerns about your status, contact us!
