USCIS has confirmed reports of a phone scam where international students receive a call purporting to be from an immigration officer requesting confirmation of personal data, and warning that there is a penalty for failure to provide the information. If you receive such a call, please notify OVIS and we will report the information to the appropriate authorities. USCIS link is here.

GLACIER Tax Preparation Software ~ Coming Soon!
The 2013 Tax Filing Season is here. If you were present in the United States during any part of 2012 on a visa, you must file an annual tax statement with the federal government. The tax filing deadline is April 15, 2013. To help guide you through the process, OVIS has purchased GLACIER Tax Prep (formerly CINTAX), a web-based federal tax return preparation software program designed for international students. GLACIER will help you determine your tax filing status, and contains a comprehensive set of FAQs. OVIS will email you detailed information regarding access to GLACIER as soon as it is available.
On February 13, 2013, OVIS will host a Tax Workshop for international students. For more information check the Information Session link on our website:

Dartmouth College assesses an international services fee of $75.00 per term to help offset costs generated by the visa sponsorship process and to support services offered to international students. This fee is assessed to all active international students at the College -both undergraduate and graduate. An international student for the purposes of this fee is defined as one who is not a U.S. citizen or a U.S. permanent resident, and who holds, or is applying for, a valid U.S. visa or immigration status under Dartmouth's sponsorship.
International students are billed directly as part of their tuition and fees. Degreed and non-degreed international students who have active Banner records have the $75.00 fee assessed as part of the term-based tuition and fees billing from Student Financial Services.
