Forms and Resources

Find Important Forms and Resources

Whether you’re preparing to make the move to Cleveland or are a recent graduate, we have compiled a list of resources you may need during your time as a student in F-1/J-1 status.

Some of the links below will route you to Terra Dotta.  Enrolled students can use Single Sign-On to access Terra Dotta.  Students authorized for OPT/STEM OPT no longer have access to Single Sign-On and are provided with other instructions for access.  OPT/STEM OPT students who have trouble logging into the system can request a password reset here.

Can’t find what you need? Feel free to email us at international@case.edu or stop by Tomlinson Hall, Room 143, to talk in person.
