Updating Your Address

Maintaining your addresses in GWeb is extremely important. You are required by law to maintain a valid current address and a valid permanent address in GWeb at all times. Failure to do so is a violation of your immigration status and GW University Policy! The ISO will not be able to register you in SEVIS, the U.S. Government immigration database, until you enter report your addresses in GWeb. Your permanent address must be outside of the U.S. and your current address must be where you are physically living in the U.S. while pursuing your degree at GW. If you move, you must update your address within 10 days of your move.

Do not email your address updates to your ISO advisor. It is your responsibility to update your addresses in GWeb!
