If student: confirm SEVIS activation + school check-in completed

If you're on a student visa, your school must 'activate' your SEVIS record within 30 days or your visa could be cancelled. Upload your visa and I-94 to your school's portal. Make sure your DSO marks your record as 'Active.' Don't assume it's done—double-check with the international office.

If you are here on a student visa, your school must "activate" your record. This tells the government you have arrived and are going to class.
