Effective today May 30, 2023, the Last Semester Notification e-form is no longer being used. The e-form was removed from UAtlas and the policy guides pertaining to "Last Semester Notifications" have also been removed. If you have submitted a Last Semester Notification and it is still in Pending Status, we will process your request.  In order to receive an OPT I-20, it is no longer a requirement to submit a Last Semester Notification. Friendly Reminder: Students in their last semester are required to maintain a full-course load. If it is not possible to maintain a full-course load in your last semester, we ask that you send an email to international@utah.edu. to Please understand that because the Last Semester Notification e-form is no longer available does not mean that the regulations are gone too, communicating to our office in a timely manner will be more effective than waiting last minute. 

The International Student and Scholar Services are announcing a new online scheduling system and walk-in hours. Traditionally if students wanted to meet with an International Student Advisor, they will either call, email, or walk-in to our main office to schedule an appointment. We are excited to start using "Microsoft Bookings" to allow individuals to schedule the appointments immediately.

The International Student and Scholar Services are announcing a new workshop series titled, "Online I-765 Application (OPT) Workshop Series" and fading out individualized "OPT Packet Checks" to accomodate all students interested in applying for Post-Completion OPT.
