SEVP Portal

Please note that use of this portal is optional. You must still report any OPT employment changes via our M-Passport portal Links to an external site. and any address/phone changes in Wolverine Access Links to an external site.. Reporting through U-M will help ensure the accuracy of information reported to SEVIS and avoid a mismatch in information between the SEVIS and U-M systems.
