Where are you living?

On Campus
The Office of Housing and Residence Life (HRL) strives to create a home away from home where everyone belongs. They are dedicated to promoting a safe and positive learning environment in which healthy relationships are formed, individual differences are appreciated, and residents are encouraged to take an active role in their community and education. For more information on housing options, a list of what to bring, and other important information, be sure to check out the HRL website.

Off Campus

Living off campus? Here are a few commuter tips!

There are a ton of opportunities to get involved on campus outside of living here! Check out some of the clubs and organizations offered through the Center for Student Involvement at Lynn. Since you will probably be driving to campus, be sure to fill out a Vehicle Registration Form so you have the correct parking pass and information. Be sure to bring some cash or a credit card along to campus with you so you are able to eat in the Dining Commons during a long day of class. Or you can purchase a meal plan! Visit the Card Office for more information!

Things to Remember

Pay the SEVIS I-901 fee once you receive your I-20. You can pay the fee online with a credit card at www.fmjfee.com. Be sure to print the receipt notice and keep it with you when you travel.
Make an appointment at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate and apply for an F-1 visa.
You must arrive in the U.S. no later than the program start date listed on the first page of your I-20.
You may enter the U.S. up to 30-days prior to the program start date listed on the first page of your I-20.
Keep all of your immigration documents with you and in a safe place while you are traveling. DO NOT place any immigration documents in your checked luggage!
NOTE: If you have more than one U.S. visa, be sure to show the Officer at the Port of Entry for your F-1 visa.
IMPORTANT: If the Officer at the U.S. Port of Entry gives you an I-515A form, please bring this form with all of your original documents to the International Student Services as soon as you arrive on campus. This is an urgent matter that needs to be addressed immediately.

At the Port of Entry

Be prepared to present the following documents at the U.S. Port of Entry:

Current Passport
U.S. F-1 visa
Original I-20
I-901 SEVIS fee receipt printout
Copy of your Lynn University admission letter
Passport, F-2 visa and original I-20 for your spouse or children (if applicable)

At the U.S. Port of Entry, a Customs and Border Protection Office will review your documents and admit you to the United States. Below is an image of the stamp that will be place in your passport. Be sure to check the stamp for accuracy BEFORE you leave the Port of Entry as it can be very difficult to have it corrected once you leave.

iPad Pro

No matter your learning style – seeing, listening, or doing it yourself – the new iPad Pros at Lynn make sure you learn your way. Because at Lynn, our style is interactive. All day undergraduate students receive a brand new iPad Pro to learn on, study with, upgrade and keep forever. You’ll receive your iPad mini prior to the start of your first term. Use it to enhance your classroom discussions through interactive lessons, instant access to information, study guides and productivity tools.
