CHANGE OF MAJOR I-20 - Reminder
If you have a major change effective for summer quarter, please note that we have begun uploading the major update I-20s to the ISSS platform. You do not need to request a new I-20 or submit a request for an updated major or minor. The ISS processes these automatically beginning around the 5th week of the quarter. You will receive an email once your updated I-20 is available with a new travel signature in your MyISSS profile.
|
For students with a major change effective for autumn quarter, we will be processing those starting in late October (around week 5 of the quarter). You do not need request a new I-20 or submit a request for an updated major or minor. The ISS processes these automatically. You will receive an email once your new major I-20 has been processed and updated in your MyISSS profile.

Be Aware of SCAMS
The ISS continues to hear from students who have been targeted by scams. The U.S. government, foreign governments, and other organizations related to your immigration status will NEVER demand money or information and WILL NOT ask for private, secure information over the phone or email. This is a SCAM.
|
- HANG UP; stop talking with the person asking you for money
- DO NOT SEND MONEY or gift card information to strangers
- DO NOT give them private data like your passport number, account info, parent's info, etc.
- TELL someone you trust
- REPORT it to the UW Police
- ALERT your Consulate or Embassy and your family
