Information for International Students & Staff

All foreign national employees receiving funds through UW-Madison payroll must provide their visa/immigration history through Glacier. Following their entry into Glacier, international students and staff must deliver all Glacier-generated reports and tax treaty forms, along with their immigration document photocopies, to their payroll person, who is identified by Glacier. Employees can request a Glacier account by sending an email to the Service Center at servicecenter@sc.wisc.edu This email should include your full legal name, date of birth, and email address. In your email, please also indicate whether you’re paid monthly or biweekly. For more information, please visit the International Student Services (ISS) website.

What is Glacier?

UW-Madison uses Glacier to ensure that we are taxing foreign nationals correctly. More information on Glacier and instructions on how to use it are available here.

F-1, J-1, and other status end date changes

If you are in the U.S. on F-1 status, you need to speak with International Student Services (ISS). If you are here on F-1 OPT, you will need to contact your sponsoring institution.

Contact Beatriz Lemire for all other immigration status inquiries, including H-1B and J-1 Scholar status.

After you receive an extension, please schedule a time to bring your new documents to your HR person Beatriz Lemire (staff and postdocs) or Marc Willadsen (graduate students) in the Chemistry Business Office so that we can update your I-9 Employment verification. If you hold a paid position, you will also need to update your Glacier account.

Hours limit for international student employees

International students may only work 20 hours per week while classes are in session. During breaks (summer, spring break, holiday break) international students may work more than 40 hours.
