International Travel during Spring Break

All students and scholars are asked to consult the Brown website https://covid.brown.edu/ for current information and guidance.


If you are planning to leave the U.S during the Spring Break, please take a moment to check if you have a current (less than a year old at time of re-entry to the U.S.) travel signature on page 2 of your I-20 for F-1 students, or in the lower right hand corner of your DS-2019 for J-1 students/scholars.

If you need a new travel signature, please drop off your I-20 or DS-2019 at the OISSS (3rd Floor of JWW) to be signed. Please keep in mind that due to the volume of requests, the travel signature process takes 5 business days.

At this time we also remind you to take a moment to review the travel information on the OISSS website here.
