Entering and Returning International Student Check-in Requirements

The standard U.S. telephone number is 10 digits, e.g. (555) 555-1234. The first three digits are the "area code," which, in the past, indicated in what part of the country the phone was located. You do not need to enter the country code.

For Berklee College of Music Students:

• Login to my.berklee.edu. Click on "My Profile" and then "Contact and Notification Preferences." Enter your U.S.-based mobile phone number and click "Submit."

For Boston Conservatory at Berklee Students:

• Login to Self-Service to update your U.S. mobile phone number.

Remember to update your U.S. or home country addresses within 10 days of moving. ISS will then update your SEVIS record with your new address.

Enter your full street address, including an apartment number (if applicable) and the ZIP code. Use the United States Postal Service (USPS) ZIP Code Lookup tool to check that you are formatting your address correctly.

For Berklee College of Music Students:

• On-campus students: you do not need to update your address. Your on-campus address will automatically appear in your account. You only need to add your U.S. phone number.
• Off-campus students: login to my.berklee.edu. Click on "My Profile" and then "Local Address Verification." In the gray box, select "This semester I will be living in the U.S., but not in Berklee resident housing." Click "Submit."

For Boston Conservatory at Berklee Students:

• Login to Self-Service to update your address.

International students are required to have a local (Boston area) address and current U.S.-based mobile phone number to check in.

We encourage you to get a U.S. mobile phone number as soon as possible so you do not experience delays during check-in. You may get a U.S. mobile phone number through any major U.S. mobile phone carrier such as T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T; or through an app or web-based service such as Skype. Budget-friendly alternatives to major U.S. mobile phone carriers include Google Fi, Mint Mobile, and Visible.

CampusSIMs provides free SIM cards to international students. If you would like to order one for use here in the United States, please complete the link below and a SIM card will be mailed to you: https://forms.gle/y19HCry3X9iU1L8K7

If you get a U.S. mobile phone number through an app or other web-based service, you must install the app on your mobile phone so you can receive text messages and phone calls wherever you are.
