Immigration Update

Summer Travel
Students planning on traveling abroad during the Summer quarter need to have their I-20s endorsed for travel before leaving the U.S. Please plan on having your I-20 endorsed ahead of time; do not wait until the day you leave to come to our office to get it signed. Without a current signature (5 months), you will have trouble re-entering the USA.

Program Completion
Students who are completing their programs at LSU during Spring quarter and plan on returning home must come to our office to make the appropriate immigration arrangements. Failure to do so might jeopardize your future entry to the U.S.
 

Campus Update

Cafeteria Update
The Cafeteria will be going through a much anticipated remodeling during this summer. Due to the construction and the summer quarter, the hours will be limited. Please stay tuned for more information and flyers with the Summer schedule.

On-Campus Jobs
As the school-year comes to an end, many graduating students leave excellent on-campus job opportunities open for other students who may wish to apply. Keep an eye open for some cool jobs that become available by checking the "Student Resources" web page from our HR Department's site.

 
What's New
   

FIFA Official Website

The World Cup starts this Friday!!! Due to the time difference between Germany and California and the remodeling of the Cafeteria, the Student Center will not be open for all the games you might want to watch. Other TVs on campus with cable are in Sierra Towers, South Hall Lobby, at the Bobby's Dinner in Angwin Hall. Please talk with the Deans BEFORE the games and respect your fellow students by keeping the noise down and the facilities clean.

Program Extensions

Before finals week gets here, please take a minute to look at your I-20 and if it expires on June 18, 2006, come to our office to have it renewed so that you do not fall out of status. (Remember to also check your Passport's expiration date!)

I-20's must be renewed before June 10, 2006 to maintain your legal status in order if you intend to continue taking classes or have not finished your program (only if expiring).

Program Extension Forms are available outside our office.
