SEVISCenter for International and Cultural Education

The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is a Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) web-based system for maintaining information on F-1 and J-1 students in the U.S.

Each college that enrolls international students has a DSO (Designated School Official for F-1 students) or RO (Responsible Officer for J-1 students) who must report to SEVIS. Jeff Anderson is your DSO and RO, and must report:

  • Your enrollment each semester
  • If you withdraw or are suspended from Gustavus
  • your e-mail address and telephone number
  • If you change your name or address
  • If you change your major or minor

Please contact Jeff Anderson (your DSO or RO) if you have any changes to the above information.

If you are on Optional Practical Training (OPT), you must also report employment information (employer name, address, and dates of employment).
