- Electronic communication: You can reach Erin at erin.marie.anderson@minotstateu.edu
- Dropping off documentation: Please drop completed forms in Erin's inbox on her desk or in the lockbox outside the door if you visit when the office is closed. She will email you when she has processed the documentation or if she has any further questions.
- Walk-in consultations: Walk-in visits should last no more than 5-10 minutes and are available on a first come first served basis for quick questions. Erin may request that you email complicated questions, thus giving her the ability to formulate a detailed written response.
- Individual appointments: Appointments need to be requested by email at least one day in advance, and are for issues that may take longer than a few minutes. Always email your question first so Erin can prepare for your meeting. Topics that will require a scheduled appointment include:
- CPT and OPT applications
- Reinstatement
- Academic probation or suspension
- Other complicated immigration situations involving your F-1 student status
Please remember that the Office of International Programs also has a 48 hour processing time for any documentation you request from us.
