****Are there additional cybersecurity threats during this pandemic?****

Amid concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Church Educational System (CES) Security Operations Center is advising the campus community to beware of scams and malware being circulated via email and social media.

These scams typically involve impersonation of health officials or other official communicators to trick users into giving up personal information. We have recently learned that cybercriminals are spreading links to malicious sites disguised as reliable COVID-19 maps--such as the one at Johns Hopkins University (below)--to infect computers with malware. Links to these sites are being circulated both on social media and through misleading emails.

The real Johns Hopkins University map is available on Johns Hopkins website.

We have also received reports of students getting text messages from the CDC about COVID-19. This is a hoax. We encourage members of the campus community to visit I-Prepare or Idaho's official coronavirus resources for factual information and updates.

The US Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) advises individuals to exercise caution in handling any email with a COVID-19-related subject line, attachment, or hyperlink, and to be wary of social media pleas, texts, and calls related to COVID-19.

CISA further encourages individuals to remain vigilant and take the following precautions:

- Avoid clicking on links in unsolicited emails and be wary of email attachments.
- Use trusted sources--such as legitimate, government websites--for updated and credible information about COVID-19.
- Do not reveal personal or financial information over email, and do not respond to email solicitations for this information.
- Verify a charity's authenticity before making donations. Review the Federal Trade Commission's page on Charity Scams for more information.

# Employment

---

The U.S. government takes working illegally very seriously. There are limited work opportunities available in the U.S. to international students. Because of this, international students are required to prove the financial ability to pay for tuition and living expenses while studying.
 
International students can apply for any campus job, and it does not have to relate to their major. You can apply for jobs by looking through job postings on the Job Board.

If you are an incoming student, you can begin working on campus up to 30 days before your first semester starts.

****We encourage you to work with your Career Advisors from each college as you navigate these employment opportunities.****

Employment limitations:

- You are not permitted to work off-campus unless you have received authorization from International Services for an internship (see next topic).
- You can only work up to 20 hours per week while required to be fully enrolled (you may work full-time during school breaks and your flex track if you are taking less than 12 credits).
Form I-20 | International Student Services Guidebook | BYU-Idaho

International Student ServicesNew Students

# Form I-20

---

After international students (transfer students included) have been conditionally admitted to BYU-Idaho, they can begin their application for Form I-20.

The Form I-20 is a Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status issued to prospective international students who have been accepted into a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certified school. This form is issued by International Services at BYU-Idaho from a Designated School Official (DSO). You will use the I-20 to schedule a visa interview at your local U.S. Embassy.

If you are conditionally admitted to BYU-Idaho, you will receive an invitation from International Services to apply for an I-20.
Graduation | International Student Services Guidebook | BYU-Idaho

International Student ServicesGraduating Students

# Graduation

---

In the semester that you complete your degree program you are only required to take whatever is left for graduation, even if this is less than 12 credits. You must be in the Rexburg area taking at least one on-campus class. The only exception is a full-time internship that is required for graduation (see the Internships page for more information). **please link to CPT Policy document** If your only remaining class is only offered online, you will be required to take another in-person class that is not required.

After graduation, you have a grace period of 60 days to do one of the following:

- Apply for OPT
- Transfer schools
- Prepare for departure
- Submit a Change of Status application

You must alert International Services that it is your last semester by filling out one of the two forms below:

Last Semester Request (if you are leaving the U.S., transferring immediately to another school, or applying for a Change of Status)

OPT Request (if you want to apply for OPT).

Please see the OPT page here **please link OPT page** for more information on how to apply.

If for any reason you do not graduate after informing the International Office that it was your last semester, please meet with an advisor in the International Office immediately to discuss if there are any options for you.

You must also apply for graduation to be included in the graduation ceremonies. You can find more information about this here.

If you have family traveling to the United States to attend your graduation ceremony, please note that visa support letters are not taken into consideration by embassy officials.
Transferring Schools | International Student Services Guidebook | BYUI

International Student ServicesGraduating Students

# Transferring Schools

---

International Services can transfer an active SEVIS record to a new school where they will issue you a new I-20. When we transfer your SEVIS record, you do not need to pay the I-901 SEVIS Fee again, and your new school will hold your record. If you are not graduating and are currently enrolled in classes, we must wait to transfer your record until the end of that semester.

Before we can transfer your record, you will need to be admitted to a new school. You can submit an acceptance letter and request the transfer of your record by filling out the Transfer Out Request on Sunapsis.

As soon as the transfer is complete, any BYU-Idaho work authorizations or campus activities that require you to be a student will be completed on the date your record is transferred regardless of the expiration date. This would include CPT and OPT authorizations.
