The SEVIS program is an Internet-based system that provides schools and the United States government with access to accurate and current information on nonimmigrant foreign students, exchange visitors and their dependents. It requires schools and exchange programs to transmit electronic information and even notifications via the Internet to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration throughout a student’s stay in the United States.

All students on F-1 and J-1 visas are required by the State of New York to purchase, for a modest fee, the comprehensive health insurance policy available to international students at NU.
