I acknowledge and will follow U.S. immigration laws and regulations. I fully understand and agree to comply with the rules and procedures listed below:

My passport must always be valid while I am in the U.S., with an expiration date at least six months into the future. It may only be extended or replaced by my embassy or in my home country.
My visa may only be issued outside of the U.S. It may expire while I am in the U.S., but my passport and I-20 must be valid at all times. If my visa expires before I leave the U.S., I must renew it BEFORE returning.
I must register with my Designated School Official upon my arrival in the U.S.
To maintain my visa status, I must make normal progress in school and complete my studies before the expiration date listed on my I-20.
I must always carry my passport and I-20 when I travel outside of Chattanooga. I must maintain full-time student status.
If my address changes, I must inform the Office of International Student and Scholar Services within 10 days.
My I-20 must be issued by the Office of International Student and Scholar Services.
If I wish to change majors, transfer to another school, or enroll in a new English as a Second Language level, I must request a new I-20.
My I-20 must be signed by my DSO each year if I wish to travel outside of the U.S.
The information on my passport and I-20 must be exactly the same.
I may NEVER work off-campus without authorization, and I may only work 20 hours per week on campus.
If I am a degree-seeking student and wish to pursue post-completion OPT, I may apply 3 months before my graduation date.
After I complete my studies, I will have a 60-day grace period to leave the U.S.
The duration of my stay may only be shortened or extended by the Office of International Student and Scholar Services at UTC.

I have read, understand and agree with the above items. *
