University arrival process and next steps
UAlbany International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) directs new F-1 and J-1 students to report their arrival through its online form for SEVIS registration. Its arrival-reporting page lists the I-20 or DS-2019, passport, visa and I-94, and says to report by the end of the first week of classes.
Open the ISSS arrival-reporting instructions linked below and confirm the form and documents that apply to you. Ask ISSS which term dates and any document-category exceptions govern your submission. The page’s relative deadline needs your own class calendar; it does not establish a calendar date for another term. University guidance checked on October 17, 2026.
