Enrollment InformationStudent and Exchange Visitor InformationSystem ReportingStudent and Exchange Visitor Information System (SE-VIS) is an internet-based system that requires schools and theBCIS to report information and exchange data on the statusof international students and scholars. Accurate and currentinformation will be transmitted electronically throughout anF-1 or J-1 student’s academic career in the United States.U.S. embassies and consulates will also have access to SE-VIS. J-1 scholars and their dependents are also included inthe SEVIS reporting requirements.Information that Gallaudet University is required to report:☛ Confirmation that a student has enrolled within 30days, or notification of failure to enroll.☛ All changes of legal name or address.☛ Graduation prior to the end date listed on the I-20 orDS-2019.☛ Academic or disciplinary actions taken due to criminalconviction.☛ Whether the student drops below a full course of studywithout prior authorization from International Services(IS).☛ Dismissal or withdrawal date, and reason for dismissalor withdrawal.☛ Procedures such as program extensions, schooltransfers, changes in level of study, employmentauthorizations, and reinstatement.International Student Business RegistrationAll international students are required to attend internationalbusiness registration prior to registering for classes.During business registration every fall and spring, InternationalServices (IS) will review each student’s immigrationdocuments, confirm to SEVIS that the student has arrivedon campus, and then release the restriction on the student’sregistration.
