Reporting Dates
A “reporting date” is the date by which you must arrive in the US and check-in with the ISO. The date is located on your form I-20, part 5 and DS-2019 part 3. Failure to arrive in the US by this date may increase the risk of you being denied entry into the US. If you are concerned that you will not be able to arrive in time for the reporting date, please see the Late Arrival Instructions.
