Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) Report
What is SEVIS?
SEVIS is a U.S. government internet-based system that tracks current information on nonimmigrant students (F and M visas), exchange visitors (J visa), and their dependents (F-2, M2, and J-2). SEVIS allows schools and program sponsors to transmit electronic information
and event notifications via the internet to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and
Department of State (DOS) throughout the student’s/exchange visitor’s stay in the United
States. SEVIS reflects changes in international student or exchange visitor status, admission
at the Port of Entry (POE), changes of address, changes in program of study, employment
authorizations, and other events.
The International Student and Scholar Services Office (ISSSO) was responsible for tracking
and reporting on 3579 F and J visa students, scholars, and their dependents for the Fall 2008
semester.
