Living and Learning 123|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey International Student Services & Study Abroad / Away International Student Services Kutztown University recognizes that international students studying at KU have a unique set of needs, including adjusting to a new country and educational system as well as learning the rules and regulations of maintaining their F-1 or J-1 nonimmigrant student status. The Office of International Education and Global Engagement has been designated to assist international students with their adjustments to the U.S. and KU, and in their interaction with the Students and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). Study Abroad/Away The Office of International Education and Global Engagement provides study abroad/away advising to all Kutztown University students interested in short-term or semester experiences. KU students have the option to participate in traditional study abroad or exchange programs, international internships and research opportunities, KU-Led programs with faculty or staff, regional or international conferences, and more! The International Office is available to assist students in-person and virtually and provides many resources on the following website: www.kutztown.edu/international. KU Identification (ID) Cards The ID card is an official Kutztown University photo ID card. In addition to identifying the relationship to Kutztown University, the card provides access to campus events and activities, residence halls/other buildings, the Library, meal plans, flex dollars, and Bear Bucks which can only be used via the ID card. All Kutztown University ID cards are issued by the KU Card Office located in the Academic Forum room 107. Each cardholder is permitted to have only one valid card at any time. A fee is charged for each new ID card issued. Each potential cardholder must present a photo ID showing his/her name, and the photo on the ID must resemble the potential cardholder before a KU ID photo will be taken. The cost for a Kutztown University ID card is $15. Undergraduate students who pay the advanced registration deposit have their first ID charge included in the fee. The application fee for Master students includes the ID charge. Master students whose application fees are waived by the university also have their first ID fee waived. All other students who have not paid one of the inclusive fees above or had it waived, will have an “ID Fee” added to their University student account, payable online or at the Office of Student Accounts located in the Stratton Administration Center room 225. The replacement fee for a lost or stolen student ID card is $15. The replacement fee also applies to legal name changes. Visibly damaged cards (e.g., visible scratches on the back-mag stripe, holes punched in the card, etc.) also carry a replacement fee. Non-functioning cards with no visible damage, faded or unrecognizable photos, or cards where the University has made an error, will be replaced at no charge if the nonfunctioning card is turned in to KU Card Office. A student ID card does not expire but is suspended indefinitely when the student leaves the university. Students are not required to relinquish their cards when they leave or graduate from the University.
