Upon their arrival on campus, international students must register their passports with the International Office as soon as possible.  A registration hold has been placed on the records of all international students, which means that international students cannot register for classes until that hold is cleared.  The International Office is located on 630 Dartmouth (Dartmouth intersects with Sheridan Road, just a few blocks north of Kellogg) by the tennis courts, and their phone number is 847-491-5613.   To register your passport, you need to bring in your passport and I‑20 or DS-2019 documents. 

You should also visit the International Office's Web Page for the most up-to-date information for Northwestern international students.  Another resource is their “Frequently Asked Questions” page.

You can also subscribe to the International Office's listserv so you can receive any news, updates to procedures/policies, and information on social events sent directly to your e-mail address.
