🚨 Bring Your ORIGINAL Documents! Parents & Families — Please Help!
Please make sure your student brings their required original I-9 documents when arriving on campus. This is especially important for students traveling from out of state or internationally. Photocopies and photographs generally cannot be accepted, with limited exceptions such as certified birth certificates.
