You will receive an email confirmation after completing the form. Your immigration advisor will be automatically notified. It is not necessary to email them separately at this time.
* PLEASE REMEMBER TO CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND. THAT WILL OPEN THE SLOT FOR ANOTHER STUDENT/SCHOLAR!!
SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS AND FORMS: Submit your applications and forms through NoleStart. Do not email them to your advisor or take them to the CGE.
