The online F-1/J-1 Student Immigration course is specifically designed for new and transfer F-1 and J-1 students at WashU. The easy-to-use online platform provides essential information on immigration compliance and preparing for life in the U.S. and at WashU.
The course takes about 60 minutes to complete, and you can do so at your own pace. If you don’t finish in one sitting, you can easily return and continue from where you left off.
After completing the course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion, which is required for your immigration check-in with the Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS) upon arrival to campus for your initial semester at WashU. This is a required course.
Accessing the course is easy. Find the course in the “Homebase” platform, which will be used to share information throughout your time at WashU. Save your Homebase login (email address and password) for future access.
