International Students are required to report to the DSO when they plan to return home after successfully completing their program. To properly update the SEVIS record, students are required to complete the International Student Departure Form.

The International Student Departure form is also required if the student no longer wishes to remain in the program. He/she will be granted an authorized early withdrawal by the DSO and may remain in the US for up to 15 days following the withdrawal noted in SEVIS to prepare to depart the US.
