Office Hours During Break
During the break the IP office is open for regular hours (M-F 9am-12pm and 1pm-5pm), with the exception of holidays , Dec 24 and 31. Winter 2011 New Student Orientation is scheduled from 12/28 through the morning of 12/30. No advisors will be available to see current students during that time.
You must always have a valid I-20. If your I-20 is about to expire then you must apply for a new one before it expires. Bring your I-20 to the IP office IMMEDIATELY and we can help you. You can see if your I-20 expiration date by reading #5 on the first page.
Traveling outside the US?
You must get a signature on your I-20 before you leave! If you have had your I-20 signed within six months of your return date you do not need another signature. Also, we recommend that you print out your class schedule for winter quarter and carry it with your documents. If you are questioned upon re-entry to the US it is handy to have that. Plan to fly out after finals and return before classes start on January 3rd. Be aware that if you miss the first two days of class your seat can be given away to another student, even if you already paid tuition.
