You said you’d do it last week 👀
Don’t wait until the last minute ⏱️ April 15 is the deadline to file your taxes. International students and scholars who were in the U.S. during 2025 are required to file tax forms even without income.
Review available resources, including ASU’s access to Sprintax, to better understand your responsibilities.

Spring 2026 graduation is getting close…and ISSC is saying to apply for Post-OPT right now!
If you’re planning to stay and work in the U.S. after graduation, don’t wait, your Post-OPT window is already wide open.
⏳ After ISSC issues your OPT I-20, USCIS must receive your application within 30 days
📅 You must also apply before your 60-day grace period ends after graduation
The closer you get to graduation, the riskier it becomes to delay — processing times can impact when you’re able to start working.
We sat down with ASU Police to talk through some common misconceptions, campus safety tips, and what international students should know to feel more confident navigating life here.
