Maintain your record with ISEO

Although you may not currently have an active request that ISEO is working on, it is necessary to always keep your iSevices updated with the most current information. Having your record updated with the most current information will help you maintain compliance with your immigration status and keep ISEO informed of any changes that could affect your current or future immigration status.

Updating your information in other campus based systems (i.e. UcPath, Human Resources, RSAS, VGS) does not notify ISEO.

Read through the events listed below. If any apply to you, follow the instructions on how to report the information to ISEO.
