If you haven’t done so already, please make sure that you have your CSU eID set up. You will need this to access any eForms with our office as well as numerous resources throughout CSU.

Scholar Check-In

To assist you with the transition from your home country to CSU, all new international scholars are required check-in upon arrival to CSU.

Please complete the Scholar Check-In with the following documents:

• Passport
• DS-2019 form
• The name and address of an emergency contact
• Current US address and phone number
• The Health Insurance Compliance Form
• If you have dependents coming with you:
  • Dependent passport(s)
  • Dependent DS-2019(s)

The Office of International Programs will save these documents and submit a report of your arrival in the SEVIS system to notify the US Department of State that you have arrived. If this is not done within 30 days after the start date listed on your DS-2019, you will be in violation of your immigration status. if you are delayed and will not be able to arrive and start your program before the start date listed on your DS-2019, please contact ISSS to request your start date be amended.

Amending Your Start Date

If you are delayed and will not be able to start your program on the start date listed on your DS-2019, please let us know by emailing ISSS with your new expected program start date. Our office can then update the start date on your DS-2019 for you.
