SEVP Ask the Experts Webinar: What DSOs Need to Know about Record Keeping
The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) provided an overview of SEVP record keeping and reporting requirements during the SEVP Ask the Experts Webinar: What DSOs Need to Know about Record Keeping on June 21, 2018. During the webinar, SEVP representatives discussed record keeping and reporting for SEVP-certified schools and international students, including:
- Form I-20, “Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status,” and international student record keeping requirements;
- Form I-17, “Petition for Approval of School for Attendance by Nonimmigrant Student,” and SEVP-certified school record keeping responsibilities;
- The effect of SEVIS upload evidence functionality and the SEVP Portal on record keeping and reporting; and
- Resources to assist designated school officials (DSOs) with school and student records.
This webinar provided both new and experienced DSOs with information to help ensure continued compliance with SEVP-certified school and federal record keeping requirements.
