Passport Verification (PPV) Document Submission System
All new international students and scholars are required to submit copies of their immigration documents to USC Office of International Services using the Passport Verification Document Submission System upon arrival to the United States (U.S.). PPV is a procedure that verifies one's immigration status to ensure that they are eligible to start an academic program/appointment at USC.
New international students/scholars who are currently in the U.S. may complete PPV.
New international students/scholars who are currently outside the U.S. must wait until they arrive in the U.S. to complete PPV.
PPV Instructions:

The processing time for document review is three business days from submission date.
Note for Degree Students: After approval, OIS will remove the STU60 hold (undergraduate students) or the STU50 hold (graduate students) permitting course registration.
