PeopleSoft PASS SEVIS [Patriot Act Student and Exchange Visitor Information System Solution] will help colleges and universities comply with the federal mandate to track and report information regarding the status of foreign students in the United States.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service launched SEVIS to address the approximately 200,000 foreign students unaccounted for in the United States.
