Announcements : F-1 Visa 101 - New Students
Hello -
We are looking forward to welcoming you on campus this Weekend for F-1 Visa: 101, New Student Orientation, and Welcome Week. You are required to attend one of two F-1 Visa: 101 sessions that will be held on Sunday, August 25 in the MacLean Ballroom (112 S. Michigan Ave.). You can sign up using the links below. Please only sign up for one session. If you have already registered, please do not register again.
We have invited you to the F-1 Visa 100: Essential Basics and SAIC Resources (Fall 2024) canvas class. If you did not receive an invite, or cannot find your invite, you can enroll in the class here: https://saic.instructure.com/
This course reviews information required by the U.S. government and provides some essential tips about your immigration documents, on- and off-campus employment, communication with our office, scams targeting international students, travel requirements and more. This is a required course for all incoming international students, so please complete it as soon as possible. The course typically takes less than an hour to complete.
We would also like to remind you to update your local address and US phone number after you arrive in the U.S. To update your contact information, log into Self-Service. After logging in to Self-Service using your SAIC Single-Sign On credentials, you will select the tile that reads “Profile,” then select “Addresses” from the menu on the left side of the screen, and “Add Mailing Address” or “Edit Mailing Address”. Please also update your current US phone number under "Mobile" or "Home" number.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to meeting you in person soon.
Again, welcome to SAIC!
