(Email sent 5/2/2025 at approximately 6pm)

Dear International Students, 

Beginning May 7, 2025, all air travelers, aged 18 and older, flying within the U.S. will be required to present a REAL ID-compliant form of identification at airport security checkpoints. This federal requirement is enforced by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

If you do not have a REAL ID, your valid passport may be used for domestic travel.
