1. ISSS hours in summer

ISSS will remain open throughout the summer from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. Pacific time. Open advising hours those days will remain available in person or over Zoom between 1 and 3 p.m. Feel free to contact our office during these times if you need to speak with an International Student Advisor

2. Changing levels (bachelor’s to master’s or PhD, master’s to PhD, non-degree to degree seeking)?

If you completed one level of study (Academic English, Bridge, bachelor’s, master’s, PhD) in spring or summer and will be beginning a new, different level in fall 2024, please note that you MUST check in with ISSS in August 2024. If you are traveling internationally this summer, note that your I-20 will be changed, and we need to report to the U.S. government that you plan to return and will be pursuing a new degree level. You will need the new I-20 to re-enter the U.S., so please visit our office prior to your departure

3. Last semester summer enrollment reminder

If summer will be your last term in your program, then please note there are some additional requirements on enrollment (listed below).

As you will not be a continuing student for fall, summer is not considered a vacation term so you will need to be enrolled full time for the summer or apply for the reduced course load for last term.

• Graduate full-time summer enrollment: 3 credits
• Undergraduate full-time summer enrollment: 6 credits

If you need to apply for a reduced course load for the last semester for summer, you can find this request on myPassport, under Enrollment Forms.
