Training and Professional Development

  • 10/30 J-1 Scholar Training for Academic Departments

    This training provides an overview for UConn academic departments who host international visitors for research, teaching, consulting, collaborations and internships through the U.S. Department of State J-1 Exchange Visitor Program. We will review the procedures that academic departments must follow to request the Form DS-2019 immigration document from ISSS for their incoming visiting scholars, and department responsibilities for hosting visiting scholars on J-1 visas. The training is intended for both the administrative support staff who work with ISSS to request immigration documents, as well as the faculty members who supervise and collaborate with the visiting scholars. This training is mandatory for all department staff who have access, or will need access, to the International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) Online DS-2019 Request Form. 

    Register online for one of two available sessions at www.icworkshops.uconn.edu. Prior registration is required.
