Dear Student,
Campus Security has been getting reports that students have been refused taxi rides because the fare from downtown to UB is not worth it to the taxi drivers. Any student who is refused a ride from the downtown area to the UB campus should immediately walk up into the Metro North train station and report this to the Metro North Police Officer on duty. It is against the law for any taxi driver to refuse any person a ride (No matter how short the distance) and the penalty is that they could lose their license. If this happens again, please report this to Campus Security and we will follow up.
Enjoy your summer!

I like the lessons learned slide Dear Student,
We are approaching the end of the Spring 2014 semester. Hope you have enjoyed this semester!
We know by the end of a semester you are preoccupied with preparation for your exams, traveling and graduation, etc. This email, being sent to all students who are registered for the Spring 2014 semester, serves as a reminder on how to maintain your F 1 status.
Degree completion with OPT
If you will be completing your degree requirements this semester and have not applied for OPT, you need to apply for it NOW! Please visit our website http://www.bridgeport.edu/life/international student services/immigration/f 1 student status/f 1 optional practical training/ and follow the instructions on OPT application.
Degree Completion Without OPT
If you will be completing your degree requirements, but will not apply for OPT, please make sure to apply for graduation and inform the ISS of your intention through email internationaloffice@bridgeport.edu. For example, will you be changing to a new program at U.B., leaving the U.S., transferring to another U.S. school, or changing your non immigrant status to something else? Failure to inform us might leave a negative record in SEVIS and affect your reentry to the U.S. in the future.
I 20 Extension
If you will not be completing your degree requirements and will require an extension of your I 20 form, please download the I 20 extension application at http://www.bridgeport.edu/life/international student services/immigration/f 1 student status/f 1 i 20 form extension/. Please submit your application for an I 20 form extension as soon as possible, but no later than one week prior to the expiration of your I 20 form. Remember that current original financial documentation is a required part of the application.
