• Know your I-20 program end date.  Is the date correct?  Are you completing all requirements before or after the date? Email iss@saintpeters.edu if you need to know what to do. 
• Pay any university balances. Diplomas and transcripts will not be released if you have an outstanding bill.  
• Verify that you will meet all program requirements by the end of your last semester of study. You can do this in the Student Planner or by checking with your academic adviser.
