To all
Omani Students,
As your
holiday plans are on the way, we want to bring to your attention two main
issues as follows:
1-
DEPARTURE FOR THE HOLIDAYS:
This is the
annual reminder for all students departing the U.S. & Canada for their
December break to be sure to have all immigration documents in order before
departure. It is advised to check with the International Office at your school
prior to departing the U.S. or Canada to review your documents and status.
For
students studying in the U.S., please check the US Immigration and Customs
Enforcement web site at: www.ice.gov for more information on SEVIS rules and
regulations.
For
students studying in Canada, please check the Canadian immigration web site at:
http://www.cic.gc.ca for more information.
2-
FORWARDING OF SEMESTER GRADES:
As you
already know, we request all students to forward the semester/quarter-completed
grades to the Cultural Division as soon as they are available (NO later than
Friday January 12, 2007 please). The directive is that February 2007 allowance
WILL NOT be paid to those who do not send their transcripts by mid January
2007.
Finally we
would like to congratulate the fall 2006-term graduates and hope them best
wishes in their future endeavors, and wish continuing students all the success
in their finals.
Regards,
Talib
