Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is a system maintained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that holds data on international students and exchange visitors and their dependents. PeopleSoft SEVIS functionality allows colleges to collect data for initial SEVIS student creation and monitor changes that need to be reported over the student’s academic career. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the SEVIS batch file transfer system (outside of PeopleSoft). 

College staff responsible for maintaining student SEVIS information will need to ensure that international student data in PeopleSoft complies with SEVIS standards before producing I-20 requests and selecting alerts to include in the batch report. The PeopleSoft SEVIS export process produces an XML file that can be uploaded to SEVIS through their batch interface. After the batch is processed by SEVIS, a transaction log file will be available to be retrieved and imported back into PeopleSoft to sync the two systems.
