Attention:
All documents should be dropped off at the front desk with Lydia. This includes visa requests from departments and I-20/DS 2019s for travel signatures. Travel signature requests will be available for pickup starting 10:00 am the following business day.
If you require the assistance of an advisor (i.e. Amy Ramirez), please schedule an appointment. Due to the fact that the International Scholar Advisor position is currently vacant, we are unable to accomodate unscheduled walk-ins. To schedule an appointment with Amy, contact Lydia by phone (410.706.7488) or by email (lscheuermann@umaryland.edu).
