Required Information Updates

For immigration reporting purposes, we need both your physical and mailing addresses if they are different. When you move, you must report your new address to your international student advisor within 10 days of the move. This includes:

• moves from one Northern Kentucky University residence hall to another
• moves from a residence hall to an address off campus
• moves from one off campus address to another
• room number changes
• temporary address changes

Your international student advisor will update your SEVIS record with your new address. *Failure to provide a current address can result in a loss of your F-1 status.

How to change your address:

Step 1: you must notify your international student advisor via email or in person to change it in SEVIS

Step 2: You must change your address on myNKU so important mail from NKU will reach you

Step 1: Meet with your academic advisor and discuss the change of major

Step 2: Notify your international student advisor, who will then issue a new I-20 with the change.

The change must show in the NKU system before your international student advisor will change your major in SEVIS. If you are a government sponsored student, you must receive permission from your sponsor before changing your major.

Any other relevant changes must be reported to your international student advisor, including:

• the intent to withdraw from the university
• graduation
• transfer information
• change to another degree level
• change to another immigration status
• other changes that affect your F-1 status and may require SEVIS notification
