The International Center has detailed a list of frequently asked questions at http://www.umich.edu/~icenter.

U-M must comply with the federal government’s Student and Exchange Visitors Information System (SEVIS). U-M has more than 4,000 international students and more than 1,000 international faculty, both among the largest populations in the nation. SEVIS, an Internet-based database system, requires the University to report information to the INS about international students and visitors
electronically rather than through the previous paper-based system. Faculty or students with questions should contact the International Center at (734)764-9310.
