Know your rights
The ACLU provides a resource to help you understand your rights in the US. Please have this information in mind in case you’re ever stopped or questioned about your immigration status.
Tri-campus resources
If you’re looking for specific international information or resources within the tri-campus, consider the UW Global Community page.
Appointments
Zoom and phone appointments are available for all F-1 students. If you’re unable to make an appointment, please email uwbintl@uw.edu and we will make one for you.
Walk-in Advising
Check in at the Summit Hall Enrollment Services desk (lower level), M – F, 9am – 4pm . If they cannot answer your question directly, they will reach out to an available ISS advisor.
Walk-ins may be asked to make an appointment if the question cannot be resolved within 10 minutes.
Requests
All F-1 student requests must be made through the International Student Portal. You can use our website to learn more about each request on the International Student Portal. Please email us with any issues accessing the portal.
An ISS advisor will review your request within 3 business days, and it will be processed within 7 – 10 business days. If there are any issues, we will contact you via your UW email.
Requests requiring academic approval are not received by ISS until approved by your academic advisor. Please respect their workload and give them 3 – 5 days to process the academic approval.
