Address Update for International Students

One of the requirements for maintaining your legal status is to maintain an updated local address. If you live in on-campus housing, your local address will be automatically entered into the University database. However, if you do not live in campus housing, we will not know your address unless you tell us.

Any time your local address changes, you must notify us within 10 days.

Domestic students: please find information about changing your address on the Registrar's website.
