If you are a new student at the school, you are required to arrive at the school by the start date shown on your I-20. If you cannot arrive by that date, contact the "designated school official" (the person who signed your I-20, or someone else in the international student office). If you still have not arrived at the school or contacted the school by the 30th day after that start date, your SEVIS record is terminated automatically and you lose your F-1 status.
