Emergency Travel
If you need to travel outside the U.S. due to a personal, family, and/or medical emergency during the university closures, please e-mail us at oip@sfsu.edu. Your e-mail should include your name, SF State student ID number, and the best way to contact you. You can still leave the U.S. without an updated signature on the 3rd page of the I-20. An advisor will contact you as soon as the university re-opens to provide immigration advice for you to return to the U.S. to study.
