Daylight Savings!!

WHAT IS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME?


As countries including the United States, Canada and Cuba prepare to set clocks back an hour on Nov. 5, Sunday as daylight saving time ends, here is what you need to know.


Daylight saving time is the practice of moving clocks forward by one hour during summer months so daylight lasts longer into the evening. Most of North America and Europe follows the custom, while the majority of countries elsewhere, especially those close to the equator, do not.

Alert: Transcripts

We have great news! As you may know, the UCIE's office has recently moved to a brand-new location, and we are thrilled to inform you that you can now come to the office to pick up your transcripts. Pickup will be available only on Fridays from 9:00am to 3:00pm moving forward, please be sure to have a valid photo ID with you when you come to the office.

OPT Application Submission for Fall 2023

If you are an international student graduating in the Fall 2023 semester, you may start applying for OPT after September 17, 2023. 


Please use the link below to access and complete all required documents for the OPT application:


OPT Information | University Center for International Education


Choose an OPT start date between December 17, 2023 – February 14, 2024. If you already have a job offer or are regularly interviewing now, choose an earlier date. If you have not, choose a later date.


PLEASE NOTE: If you have ANY reservations regarding graduation for Summer 2023 semester, please do not apply for OPT until after semester end grades have been posted.


Maintaining status on OPT is still the same as usual


You are permitted only 90 days of unemployment between the start and end dates on your EAD card. In addition, you are required to report the following information through the SEVP Portal while on OPT within 10 days of the change:


1. When you start a new job.

2. When you change addresses.

3. Periods of unemployment.

4. 6-month validation 


Can I travel back to my home country during OPT period?


Please be aware that if you are unemployed for more than 90 days, you will lose your OPT status. Also, during this uncertain time, we do not suggest international travel as there is no guarantee of open borders.
