St. Olaf\u2019s PDSO, Caitlin Lamont Kreienkamp, is available to answer all immigration questions; however it is the student\u2019s responsibility to keep track of immigration matters and stay in status. Failure to comply with immigration regulations will retroactively place you &#8220;out of status&#8221; and in violation of US immigration laws. Students who fall out of status will likely be asked to leave the country and re-enter with new documentation. They also may be barred from re-entry for a period of three years or longer if an immigration judge or DHS finds them in violation. It is imperative that F-1 students contact Caitlin Lamont Kreienkamp immediately if there appear to be any problems related to immigration status.<\/p>\n<p>During the <em>International Student Orientation<\/em> in September there will be a session about Immigration and Staying in Status. There are also additional immigration events throughout the year at St. Olaf. These events will answer student questions and help keep students up-to-date on immigration regulations. If you have any immigration questions before you arrive on-campus, please e-mail dso@stolaf.edu.<\/p>\n<p><!-- begin-migrated-from-panel-builder --><!-- end-migrated-from-panel-builder --><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>F-1 international students are required to maintain lawful immigration status at all times.
