New and Improved Way to Access Documents in UAtlas
International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) is excited to announce a new and improved way for students to access documents using Document Center in UAtlas. Starting August 1st, students will no longer receive a separate email to access recently issued I-20s based on e-form requests. Instead, students can view their new I-20 as well all previously issued I-20s, immigration documents, and certain university related documents signed by ISSS directly in Document Center. This update makes it easier for a student to access documents on their record and eliminate the need to make a request to ISSS for a copy of a document.
