Weekly Email Messages & Monthly Newsletters

from the Office of International Student

Services (OISS) As F-1 and J-1 student visa holders at Regent University, it

is your important responsibility to read the weekly email messages and

monthly newsletters from the Office of International Student Services

(OISS). These publications contain important immigration information

and updates that you will need to know in order to maintain your lawful

immigration status in the United States, so you are expected to read

them carefully. If for any reason you are not receiving the newsletters

(which will be sent to your local/U.S. address) or the emails (which

will be sent to your Regent email address), it is your responsibility to

notify the OISS immediately.

On-campus Employment Rule Reminder F-1 student visa holders are permitted to work on-campus

(at Regent) for no more than 20 hours per week in total

while school/classes are in session. One cannot work 18 hours one

week and 22 hours the next week. F-1 students do not need prior

written authorization for on-campus employment at Regent. Working

without proper authorization, or more than 20 hours per week in total

while school/classes are in session, is a serious violation of the F-1

student immigration status, which can result in serious consequences,

such as deportation. Any questions regarding employment should be

directed to the Office of International Student Services (OISS).

Enrollment Procedures for NEW Students If you haven’t done so already, please be sure to complete the

sure to change your “Permanent Address” in Genisys to your local U.S.

address. This will help ensure that you will receive your health

insurance card when the cards are mailed to the new students in a

couple of weeks.

Information regarding the student health insurance costs, effective

dates, student and dependent eligibility, mandatory coverage statement,

enrollment and waiver forms, and deadlines can be found on this web

information is also online. The dental enrollment deadline is

assistance (for travel in the U.S. or internationally). Students can also
