International Student Arrival Form
ATTN: International Students — Important Airport Note
When you arrive in the US you will be asked to fill out an I-94 card on the plane, which will be used as you go through Customs. This little I-94 card is very important! It is white card stock paper, about 4 x 4 inches in size. Most officials will staple it next to your visa in your passport, but sometimes officials do not emphasize their importance and/or place it rather than staple it in your passport. While going through the process be aware that this card will be needed to check in here at IIT and for the length of your time in the United States. If you lose the I-94 it will take up to six months and a fee of $350 to be issued a new one.
We look forward to seeing you — with your I-94 and all — here at IIT!
IIT Wallpapers
Here is a selection of high-quality photos featuring the IIT campus available for use as desktop wallpaper. Each wallpaper is available in three different resolutions; if your screen resolution is not listed below, select the dimensions with the closest match.
2008 Summer Institute
For over 30 years, IIT has sought to develop some of the finest and most comprehensive summer programs to help students make the transition to university life and the academic rigors of IIT. The Summer Institute for First-Year Students is a four-week, non-residential academic and community-building summer program for admitted IIT freshmen that will position them to thrive during their academic career.
For more information about IIT's "summer bridge" program, please check out our page for the 2008 Summer Institute.
Outstanding Educators
Over the last few months, we have gotten to know you, the students admitted to IIT, and the excellence of your academic careers that has helped bring you here. In addition to your own hard work, we know the support of your educators, be it in an academic or extracurricular setting, has played an instrumental role in your success, and we would like to help you honor them for everything they have done to further your education over the years.
Each admitted student was sent the following letter describing the outstanding educator award, along with a nomination form (click to view writable PDFs for incoming freshmen and for transfer students).
