- As an initial student entering to attend school for the first
time, you may not enter the U.S. more than 30 days before the program
indicated on your I-20 form. If you are a transfer or continuing student,
this rule does not apply to you.

be sure to have a current passport, the sealed immigration documents
given to you by the consular officer,
evidence of financial resources, SEVIS form I-20, and the name and
phone number of the Designated School Officer of Calumet College

I-94 Arrival Departure Record before passing through U.S. immigration.
- The
immigration officer will stamp your SEVIS form duration of
status or “D/S” and also stamp the I-94 and
staple it in the passport.
- Once you have arrived in the Hammond
area, report to Calumet College of St. Joseph as soon as
possible and register for
