INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

All International Students are to report to the Student Programs Office upon arrival in Baton Rouge. A file will be created for each student. In order to complete the file, students are to bring their Form I-20, I-94 passport, and any other information pertaining to their matriculation at Southern University.
The foreign national seeking to enter the United States to study does not need any advance permission from the Immigration Service. The student must obtain a certificate of eligibility (INS Form I20 A-B) from the academic institution at which he or she will enroll, and submit this certificate, together with a nonimmigrant visa application and supporting documentation, to a U. S. consulate in the alien's home country. Once
