Question:When should I apply for OPT if I am completing my PhD this summer?
Shout out to eLearning Miami!
Consideration is being given to international students who may be learning from outside the US. eLearning Miami has been working with faculty to accommodate international students who may be facing additional challenges to learning remotely.
When dealing with international students who have returned home and are dealing with a time difference or internet restrictions, Miami faculty are encouraged to be flexible and understanding.
DAB creates an opportunity for students to influence positive change on campus, celebrate student accomplishments, and help the Office of the Dean of Students set priorities and create initiatives. The board is expected to meet bi-weekly on Fridays throughout the 2020-21 academic year.
Please let ISSS know where you are! If your plans change, update the ISSS form and your local (off-campus) address in BannerWeb.
Are you looking to distribute information about your event, program, group, etc. to international students and scholars at Miami? Submit an ISSS communications request.
