Students at the Oxy Involvement Fair

Explore essential resources to learn how to comply with immigration rules, find jobs on-campus, and prepare for life after graduation.

Oxy Immigration Check-In

All F-1 and J-1 students are required to complete an Immigration Check In. During the first three weeks of classes each semester, all international students are required to update certain information.  Students will be sent a request for this information through our international student management system, ISSS, by email.   An incomplete IPO clearance process will result in your being out of status and termination in the SEVIS system.  Please begin the renewal process when your passport is within six months of expiration. Moreover, please ensure that you are filing your taxes correctly, for more information, visit 2023 Income Tax Filing.

Letter / Service Request

If you need a letter to open a bank account, to make an appointment at DMV or Social Security Card office, or simply need to notify a change or important update. Please use these services. Allow 2-3 business days for your letter or service to be completed.

Student Event Co-Sponsorship

Student organizations officially registered with SLICE/ASOC or Resident Assistants may request IPO event co-sponsorship by completing a Funding Request . Events must be internationally themed and/or build community for international students. Requests for a single event generally may not exceed $400 and should be made 2 weeks in advance. Funds are transferred directly into the SLICE account or to REHS. Exceptions will be considered by IPO Associate Director Marisa Mofford (mofford@oxy.edu).
