On April 8, a routine SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Program) database check revealed a small number of UNM-affiliated individuals on non-immigrant student visas have had their SEVIS records terminated. SEVIS is a web-based system for maintaining information on non-immigrant students and exchange visitors in the United States.
UNM's Global Education Office supports its international student community, and UNM's Rapid Response Team (RRT) on Immigration and Undocumented Individuals is monitoring the situation and will provide any campus-wide guidance as appropriate.
An unexpected change in immigration status can be incredibly disruptive for impacted individuals and the larger international community and may cause broader uncertainty and anxiety to our Lobo family. UNM is committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students.
