Please verify that you understand and accept the following items.*

I understand that while I am engaged in the 24-month STEM OPT Extension period I must report changes in my legal name, residential or mailing address, email address, employer’s name, and employer’s address within 10 days of the change.
I understand that while I am engaged in the 24-month STEM OPT Extension period I must report to my ISSS Advisor every 6 months the information listed in the previous statement, even if none of the information has changed.
I understand that I must notify my ISSS Advisor when I receive my extended Employment Authorization Document (EAD) from USCIS.
I understand that international students on STEM OPT can be unemployed for no more than 150 days during the entire OPT/STEM OPT duration.
I understand that my authorization to engage in STEM OPT is automatically terminated when I transfer to another school or begin study towards another degree program (even though the dates on the EAD card appear to still be valid). If I plan to transfer to another school or begin a new program, I will notify ISSS to transfer my records electronically to the new school. In order to notify ISSS of your transfer, please complete the Intent to Transfer Form.
I understand if I change my immigration status (i.e. H-1B), I must contact my ISSS by providing proof of the changes to keep my record updated.
I understand that travel outside the U.S. while my STEM OPT application is pending is strongly discouraged by ISSS. If I have an emergency situation that requires travel while STEM OPT is pending, I will contact an ISSS Advisor before doing so.
I understand that within 60 days of the end of my STEM OPT, I must either (a) exit the U.S., (b) apply to start a new program at a school, or (c) change my immigration status.
