Road trips are part of the American experience! If you plan to travel to Canada or anywhere outside the U.S. during a weekend or quarter break, be sure to come to the ISC a week before you leave to get your I 20 signed!

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Students without the required signature on their I 20s may have difficulty re entering the United States! If you have any questions or concerns, check with your friendly IEP advisors. Your friends may really want to help, but for important questions about your visa status or other issues,

you need to ask a professional!
