If you are changing your status from an F-1, J-1, etc. to different status (H-1B), submit this information using the Change of Status E-Form. ISSS will update SPIRE and your SEVIS record as needed.
Remember that if you are a current student or employee at UMass and you change your immigration status, you must update your I-9 paperwork with Human Resources to ensure you can continue working.
If you are no longer a student at UMass and you are on OPT, AT, etc. when you change your status, your access to UMass systems (access to UMass email, UMass VIP, etc.) will be deactivated 30 days after your new change of status begins. Please plan accordingly.
