Buffalo State College will host an implementation seminar for Immigration and Naturalization Service's Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) at 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 27, 2002, in Room 213 of the Science Building.

SEVIS is an Internet-based system that provides tracking and monitoring functionality with access to information on non-immigrant students and exchange visitors and their dependents. The system is slated for release this summer; institutions hosting international students will be required to use it.

The seminar will provide the tools and information necessary to use the Web-based application. Topics to be addressed include system functionality, program history and user access.

For additional information, contact Dr. Jean Gounard, Buffalo State College Director of International Student Affairsm at (716) 878-5331.
