Schedule OIS Check-in
Schedule OIS Check-In
Check-in with OIS is required by law for all new F-1 and J-1 international students, including transfer students. The check-in process has two parts and both must be completed in order to successfully complete the check-in requirement.
- Completion of check-in forms in your Global Home account
- Attendance at a check-in session
Who Must Attend Check-in
- International students (F-1 and J-1 visa) must attend a check-in session upon arrival to NC State. This includes students matriculating from the Intensive English Program and transfer students.
- Students on other visas (H-1, H-4, F-2, etc.) should NOT attend the OIS Check-in session, as it is not a requirement of those visas.
- Dependents on J-2 visas are required to check in with OIS. Please complete the Dependent Check-in Form to schedule a J-2 check-in appointment.
Required Steps Before Your Check-in Session
IMPORTANT – OIS will not be able to register your SEVIS record until these steps have been completed.
Before attending an OIS Check-in session, new students need to complete the following tasks:
You will be required to upload certain documents into your Global Home account as part of this process. The required documents are:
- I-20 (F-1 students) or DS 2019 (J-1 students)
- Passport bio page and US visa stamp
- Your I-94 from your most recent entry into the United States (Click “GET MOST RECENT I-94”, then click “CONSENT & CONTINUE”, then enter your information to print your I-94; if your I-94 is returned “Not Found,” please let OIS know during your check-in session)
You can complete this task by navigating to the MyPack Portal > Student Homepage > Personal Information tile. You will then click on Addresses (left side menu), scroll down, and click ‘Add SEVIS Local Address’. The address should follow these formatting guidelines:
