Travel Information Form for F-1 Students

Travel Information Form For F-1 Students

This form should be filled out before any international travel begins for F-1 students at UAMS.

Name(Required)
Have you registered for the upcoming semester?(Required)
Do you need a travel letter?
This letter is used to verify that you are a student at UAMS, as well as verify enrollment. It can be used at visa renewal appointments or shown if needed when re-entering the U.S.
Please complete if you will be requesting a travel letter for your trip.
Acknowledgement(Required)
I acknowledge that I have reviewed the travel information below:

If you travel outside of the United States during your studies at UAMS, you are required to arrive back to the U.S. to resume classes on the UAMS campus before classes begin. This is especially important if you are receiving a stipend. All students should adhere to the following travel guidelines:

1. Students in their first year of study should only travel outside of the U.S. during the Winter Break and should return before classes begin for the Spring semester. There are no exceptions.
2. Summer travel should be discussed with your PDSO, Dr. Prince. This will be considered on a case by case basis.
3. Students who receive a stipend must be in the U.S., enrolled in classes, and on campus when classes begin each semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer).
4. If you cannot be in the U.S. or on campus before classes begin, you must discuss this with your PDSO, Dr. Prince, the Dean, your major advisor, and program director. You must also get approval. There are no exceptions.
5. If you need to leave the U.S. when classes are in session for a family or other emergency, you must discuss this with your PDSO, Dr. Prince, the Dean, your major advisor, and program director. You must get approval before leaving the U.S. There are no exceptions.
6. If you have to leave the U.S. when classes are in session for a family or other emergency, you are only allowed to be outside of the country for 30 days.
7. You must email your planned travel dates to your PDSO, Dr. Prince, so that these dates can be reviewed and approved in advance (before you purchase your ticket).
a. For example, if you are approved to travel outside of the U.S. during the semester (when classes are in session) for emergency purposes, you must indicate the date you plan to leave the U.S. and the date you plan to return to the U.S. When you return to the U.S., you must email your PDSO, Dr. Prince, to confirm that you have returned.
8. Students are not allowed to travel outside of the U.S. when classes are in session for leisure or vacation without approval from the PDSO, Dr. Prince. Traveling outside of the U.S. for leisure or vacation while classes are in session is considered failure to maintain status and may result in termination of your immigration record, termination of your stipend, and dismissal from the Graduate School.

I also understand that if my travel dates change I must notify the PDSO immediately.
