The Immigration and Nationality Act 265(a) requires aliens (statutory term for individuals in the United States who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals) to report their address change within ten (10) days of moving by notifying their school (if F-1) or visa sponsor (if J-1). Current law states that willful failure to report an address change is a criminal offense.

In order to report a change of address:

All current students may use the change of address form and submit it to the Office of the Registrar within ten (10) days of moving. In order to comply with regulations to report addresses changes, we also ask that you follow the additional directions below:
