You will be receiving invitations in the mail in September. Once again, we thank you for your love and support. All international students who work in the U.S. must pay federal and state taxes on the money they earn. An estimate of the taxes you owe will normally be withheld from your paycheck by your employer. If you believe you are eligible for a tax treaty benefit, please come by the ISSO to pick up these forms.
Information regarding tax treaties is available in our resource library.
A purple information form is required of all new international students and scholars so that we may keep our records up to date. In addition, returning students who got a new visa or passport, or changed immigration status over the summer should come to the ISSO so that we may photocopy these documents to update your records. Those of you who are coming to Brandeis from another U.S. educational institution and have not left the U.S. before coming to Brandeis are likely to need to transfer your visa status from your former institution to Brandeis. Please make an appointment to see an advisor in the ISSO to complete the transfer procedure. This procedure must be done within the first two weeks of the semester in order for you to maintain a valid visa status.
