We at the Office of International Students & Scholars want to ensure that your time with Wayne State University is enriching and fulfilling throughout the Winter 2026 academic semester. However, we know that it also involves abiding by many overwhelming and sometimes frustrating federal regulations and guidelines. That's why we'd like to invite you to join an upcoming presentation on Maintaining Your Status. On Friday, January 30th, 2026, from 2 p.m.-3 p.m. We will be discussing the many ways each of you is required to keep up with your Visa status during your time at WSU.

These topics will include:

• Defining and understanding SEVIS and SEVP regulations
• Requirements for New Students
• Understanding the Role of OISS
• Full-Time Enrollment and the Allowed Exceptions 
• The Importance of Health Insurance Coverage
• Maintaining and Monitoring Employment (ie. CPT, OPT, On-Campus) 
• Departing and Reentering the Country
• Termination, and How You Can AVOID it
• And Much More!

Please gather in Room 010 of the Student Center Building or join via Zoom for vital information and tasty snacks.

We look forward to seeing you there!
