Departing Students
-
1 - Complete Student Survey
All graduates leaving the university should take the departing student survey.
-
2 - Clear Student Account
Clear your student account so your diploma and/ or transcripts can be released. Check with the Cashiers Cage regarding your balance. Make sure and leave your new address with the Center staff so you will correctly receive your diploma and/ or transcripts.
-
3 - Order Transcripts
Order transcripts if you will need them. Order and pay for extras if there is a charge so you will not need to find foreign currency to pay for them after you return home.
-
4 - Provide Diploma Address
Make arrangements to have your diploma sent to you if you do not receive it before departing. Make sure you give your “Diploma Address” to the Center staff.
-
5 - Provide Travel Itinerary
Leave the CIP your permanent home address. If you will be traveling for more than a few days on the way home, leave your itinerary and if possible, telephone numbers where you can be reached in case of an emergency.
-
6 - Join Alumni Community
Give the university alumni office your permanent home address. Ask them to put you on their mailing list.
-
7 - Remember Legal Dates
Remember, you have 60 days to remain in the USA legally after your graduation date. See the CIP if you wish to apply for practical training. The application must be sent prior to graduation, or shortly after.
-
8 - Forward Mailing Address
Fill out forwarding address forms at the Post Office. Request “change of address” postcards from the Post Office to send to your contacts.
