Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers before you begin
Who manages a student’s SEVIS record?
The school’s Designated School Official manages and updates the SEVIS record. Students should contact the DSO before employment, reduced-course-load, transfer or program-extension changes.
Can an F-1 student work off campus?
Only with the applicable authorization, such as approved CPT or OPT. Unauthorized employment may violate status.
How quickly must address changes be reported?
F-1 students generally must report required changes promptly through the school process. Follow the DSO’s instructions and current regulations.
