International Student Emergency Contact Form

The CIE Office strongly encourages all international students to submit an Emergency Contact Form, which includes the contact information of a family member in your home country. It is OK if the emergency contact doesn't speak English.

UW Bothell has the CARE Team. This is a safe and secure way to inform the campus that you are concerned about the well-being of others, such as a friend, classmate, roommate, professor or staff member.
