-Around the end of the Fall semester, some of you may perhaps be planning international travel of personal nature. If you are an international student and are planning to travel outside of the United States, please remember the following items: 
-  * If you are a TA during the preceding Fall semester, your travel must be after your TA assigned responsibilities are completed. Talk with your faculty instructor to ensure your departure date is acceptable. If you are an RA, please discuss your travel plans with your adviser. 
-  * If you are a TA during the following Spring semester, you MUST be back in Minnesota the week before the semester starts. If you are an RA, please discuss your travel plans with your adviser. 
-  * Please fill out this form for department approval as soon as possible:  https://form.jotform.com/213406153674049 . This form will generate a Funding/Assistantship verification letter which you will need to re-enter the U.S.  
-  * ISSS must sign your travel signature line on your I-20 
-  * When re-entering the U.S., you must be able to provide evidence that you have enrolled full-time during the entirety of your career as an F-1 student.  An unofficial transcript from the University is the best way to verify enrollment. You can obtain an unofficial transcript through MyU. 
-  * Please also review ISSS's webpage regarding traveling outside of the United States: https://isss.umn.edu/fstudents/travel/outside-us
