SEVIS Helps Manage Information on International Students

In January 2003, Fairleigh Dickinson University met the compliance requirements of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to access SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System).

SEVIS is the Internet-based system allowing universities and the U.S Immigration and Naturalization Service to exchange information on international students in the United States.

“The Office of International Student Services is committed to assist students in ways that prevent status violations from occurring,” said Eileen Hamme, director, international student services (Metro/Flor). Policies and procedures have been put into effect to monitor the students. However, faculty and staff should have a basic understanding of compliance issues.

During the past month, workshops have been held and notices regarding SEVIS have been sent University-wide.

If staff or faculty are unsure of the new procedures and compliance issues, they may contact the Office of International Student Services at 201-692-2743 for clarification.
