Fall 2026 Immigration Check-in Procedures

Step 1: Check-In Portal

This step cannot be completed until after you arrive in the US.

A separate email will be sent to you, within 72 hours after entering the U.S., inviting you to create a portal profile. You will be using this portal to:

  • Provide your local address in the US and;
  • Submit your immigration documents (Visa, signed I-20, and I-94)

If you do not have a device to complete this step, you may go to any computer lab on campus with your documents available digitally to upload to the portal. You can send them to yourself via email or have them on a flash drive.

If you have not yet received an email, please note that the ISSS Office will reach out to you closer to the beginning of classes.

IMPORTANT: Immigration Check-in Requirement

F-1 regulations (8 CFR 214.2) require F-1 international students in initial SEVIS status to report to ISSS "as soon as possible upon admission into the United States but no later than the Initial Session Start Date (start of classes) as listed in SEVIS."

Failure to complete immigration check-in and enroll in classes at Texas State University by the program start date on your Form I-20 may result in the termination of your SEVIS record and subject you to deportation proceedings.

If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail inational@txstate.edu or call ISSS at (512) 245-7966.
