Summer Travel
Since the end of the semester is approaching we would like to capture more about your travel plans. If you are traveling internationally, please complete this brief travel survey so that we are aware of your travel plans in case you need assistance. Do not complete this survey if you are not traveling or are traveling only within the U.S.
If you don’t have a travel signature on page 2 of your I-20 please see the website for the full instructions on how to get your I-20 signed. (signature is valid for up to one year from the date it was signed).
Airport Shuttles
International Engagement will provide FREE Airport shuttles to students from May 7th-10th. If you have travel plans please sign up on the link provided. The shuttle will only go one way and will not bring students back to campus. If you live in a place where there is construction please make sure to step outside where the driver can see you. Students must wear a mask and show their student ID.
Deadline extended!
The Tax Filing Deadline has been extended from April 15 to May 17, 2021. Sign up for one of our workshops or Sprintax to take care of your tax return before finals! Remember filing your tax return each year you are in the U.S. is a requirement of your immigration.
Summer Internships or Practicums
Are you planning on participating in an internship or required practicum this summer? It you are, it must be approved under Curricular Practical Training (CPT) before you start. You can find answers to most questions about CPT and the application form here!
Fraud alert!
We want everyone to stay healthy and safe!
To be seen by a staff member in our office, you must have an appointment scheduled. Most appointments will be handled over the phone, by virtual meeting or email. It is very important to check your email for instructions by the staff member to see how your meeting will be set up, or to see if your questions are answered by email. If it is too late for you to schedule an appointment online, please email international@uca.edu or call 450-3445 to be worked into the schedule. When you arrive for an approved in person meeting, please be aware our lobby only has space for 3 people. If the lobby is full, we have additional seating in the main hallway. Thank you for helping us to social distance during these times.
