If traveling abroad, students must take their I-20 or DS-2019 with them. The I-20 or DS-2019 is required to reapply for a visa (if needed) and for re-entering the U.S. Before departure from the U.S., students should verify that they have a valid travel endorsement on page 3 of the I-20 from an advisor at TDU's ISSS Office. This signature is valid for one year for multiple visits outside the U.S. To request a travel endorsement, please click the button below.
Note: Students should plan ahead and apply for a travel endorsement several weeks before departing the U.S. to avoid the holiday rush.
