Tune in tomorrow, Friday, February 21, 2014, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET for a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-hosted webinar focusing on Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) updates. Tomorrow’s webinar, “Pending Updates to Form I-17 for School Accreditations and Recognition” is the first in a new series of discussion on SEVIS improvements. Watch tomorrow to learn about the SEVIS Accreditation and Recognition (Form I-17) conversion project. Through this, school officials are better able to provide more complete accreditation and recognition data, while SEVP can better verify and ensure continued eligibility of certified schools.

Here is the agenda for tomorrow afternoon:

• Brief overview of plans for SEVIS updates in 2014
• Form I-17, “Petition for Approval of School for Attendance by Nonimmigrant Student,” improvements
• Conversion process overview
• Review of training materials available to support the conversion
