Important Reminders
If you are graduating this December make sure you apply to graduate so you receive important information this semester.

If you are interested in applying for Optional Practical Training (OPT) now is the time to start the process! Applications open September 14 but you can start the process now on the ISSS Portal.

You must meet with an advisor before submitting your OPT application as we need to issue you a new I-20!
Remember, to keep our campus and community safe this fall, it is important that you monitor yourself daily and report symptoms you may experience.Do not attend class or work if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or any other communicable illness.

If you need access to COVID-19 testing or other resources, please visit the UNCG website for regular updates and helpful information. Thank you for doing your part to keep everyone safe this Fall!
