Phone and Email Phishing Scams

The University of Denver has recently faced an increase in phone and email phishing scams. A common email scam that DU students, faculty, and staff may see in their inbox is an offer of employment with an individual who typically needs some type of domestic assistance (personal assistant, dog walker, etc).

As an international student, you cannot work off-campus without authorization from ISSS or USCIS. International students should not respond to ANY emails offering employment, regardless if they are legitimate or a scam.

If you work off-campus without authorization, you are in violation of your F-1/J-1 immigration status and your SEVIS record may be terminated.

For additional information on phone and email phishing scams, please download the following PDF: PHISHING SCAMS.
New ISSS Portal

ISSS has launched a new online request system: ISSS Portal.

All student requests can be made through the portal at https://isss.du.edu.

Immigration Information

Unless you currently hold another immigration status that permits you to study in the United States, you will need to apply for either an F-1 or J-1 visa before beginning your program at DU.

Applying for a visa can be a long and tedious process, but we are here to help if you need our assistance. If you're eager to familiarize yourself with the immigration and visa application process, head over to our Immigration Information page. There you'll find step-by-step instructions, deadlines, and more.
