Guidance for International Community

Dear Penn community,

April 1, 2025 – We are aware of reports that international students at universities across the U.S. have received emails from the State Department notifying them that their visas have been revoked and urging them to ‘self-deport.’

ISSS is actively monitoring the situation to verify such reports. ISSS will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.

  • Public Safety is the official liaison with all law enforcement for the University. If you are approached by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or other law enforcement agents on our campus, contact the Division of Public Safety immediately at 215-573-3333. You may document any interaction, or ask them to wait for Penn Police, but do not interfere with or obstruct the agents. Let them know that you cannot grant them permission to enter University buildings or accept service of a warrant on behalf of the University. 
  • The Penn campus is largely open to the public. All law enforcement officers may enter these public spaces without a warrant or subpoena. Most campus buildings, however, are not open to the public, and access to these buildings is limited to those individuals with valid PennCards or law enforcement officers with judicial warrants or subpoenas. If agents have an administrative warrant (as opposed to a judicial warrant or subpoena), they cannot legally access private buildings without explicit permission or invitation.
