警惕騙局，保護個人資訊安全
請注意，現在出現了許多網路詐騙行為，尤其是在社交媒體、簡訊和群聊應用（如GroupMe、WhatsApp等）上，詐騙分子常常提供打折的演唱會門票和其他活動的虛假資訊。此外，詐騙分子還會使用在社交媒體上找到的哥倫比亞大學相關人員的照片和電子郵件來增加可信度，從而進行詐騙。
請務必不要在私聊或群聊中透露任何個人或財務資訊。如果你懷疑自己已經成為詐騙的受害者，請立即聯絡哥倫比亞大學公共安全部門，電話：212-854-2797。
另外，哥大的一些國際學生和學者也報告說，他們收到了各種假冒的釣魚郵件和電話，要求支付虛假費用。這些理由包括未繳納稅款、移民身份或簽證問題、社保號碼被盜用，以及近期的虛假就業機會。請提高警惕，不要成為受害者！以下資源可以幫助你更好地防範這些詐騙：

This is really happening so be careful! Scammers use social media, text, and messaging apps like GroupMe, WhatsApp, etc. offering discount tickets to concerts and other venues. Scammers are also using photos of Columbia affiliates found on social media, and email addresses to gain trust in committing the fraud.
Do not give out any personal or financial information to anyone in private or group messaging. If you believe you have been a victim of this scam, contact CU Public Safety 212-854-2797.
In addition, international students and scholars at Columbia and across the U.S. report receiving fraudulent phishing emails and imposter phone calls demanding money for a variety of fake reasons. These include unpaid taxes, immigration status or visa problems, identity theft of their SSN, and recently, phony employment opportunities. Do not respond to unsolicited job offers! Don't be a victim! Do take the time to review these resources:

學年即將結束
放假前別忘了……
在學期和學年即將結束之際，以下事項不要忘記：
美國稅務局8843表格須在6月15日之前完成郵寄。持有F或J類簽證的國際學生學者如果在2024年沒有在美國的收入，則需要填寫一份稅務表格並將其郵寄給美國聯邦稅務局。你可以透過UNI登入國際學生學者辦公室與Sprintax的合作網站下載表格：
http://bit.ly/nonrestaxreturn
請注意，你需要提交紙質版表格，所以請在離開美國之前完成下載、列印、填寫、郵寄的全過程。
旅行檔案：如果你計劃在暑期出境旅行，之後再以F/J類簽證身份返回美國，請務必檢視旅行證件相關資訊：
http://bit.ly/stutravel
如果你5月即將畢業，祝賀你！記得前往國際學生學者官網查閱“Your Final Term and Beyond”頁面，瞭解有關OPT申請、畢業後留美寬限期等重要資訊。
衣物捐贈：你是否有不再需要的衣物或其他家用物品？你可以將它們捐贈給舊貨店，如：Salvation Army, Goodwill, Housing Works, Beacon's Closet, Buffalo Exchange。
As you approach the end of the semester and the academic year, keep the following in mind:
IRS Form 8843 must be mailed by June 15th. Students in F/J status who are nonresidents for federal tax purposes and had no US income in 2024 have one tax form they need to complete and mail to the IRS. Complete Form 8843 for free when you log in to Sprintax nonresident software from our website (http://bit.ly/nonrestaxreturn) with your UNI and password. It will generate a completed form for you to download, print, sign and mail. It’s a paper only form so mail it before you leave the U.S.
Travel Documents: If you’re leaving the US this summer and will be returning in F/J student status, be sure to check our Documents Needed for Travel page (http://bit.ly/stutravel) before you leave.
If you’re graduating in May, congratulations! Be sure to check out our Your Final Term and Beyond page for deadlines and other important information.
Donating Clothing and Household Items: Do you have clothing or other items you no longer need? Donate them to a thrift store (Salvation Army, Goodwill, Housing Works, Beacon’s Closet, Buffalo Exchange).
