ICE Provides New Web-Based SEVIS Training

With foreign students returning to the United States for the new school year, ICE on August 24 announced the launch of a new Internet-based training program to help school officials more effectively use the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).

SEVIS is a system for maintaining information on international students and exchange visitors. The new Web-based training course is designed to provide instruction to more than 18,000 designated school officials on how to use SEVIS software and keep up with regulations. Previously, school officials had to rely on a user manual with limited scope for SEVIS training.

The new Web-based training course, entitled “SEVIS Training for School Officials,” is designed to provide instruction to Designated School Officials (DSOs) and Principal Designated School Officials (PDSOs) on how to use SEVIS software. The course is available online, 24 hours a day, for “anytime/anywhere” learning.

Previously, school officials had to rely on a user manual with limited scope for SEVIS training. This new Web-based training course provides information on regulations associated with the SEVIS data requirements and describes the roles and responsibilities of students and DSOs.

The training is also designed to assist new DSOs who may need additional guidance on updating and maintaining student information in SEVIS. In addition, this course will serve as a reference tool for seasoned DSOs to refresh their skills.

The Web-based training is designed to be self-paced and can be completed at varying intervals and times.

ICE plans to continuously update the modules and enhance its user-friendliness over time. Comments or suggestions can be e-mailed to SEVIS.Source@dhs.gov. Include the phrase “web-based training” in the subject line.
