J-1 Third-Party Hosts

Organizations that host MSU J-1 scholars or MSU J-1 students participating in Academic Training are considered Third Party Hosts.

Before hosting an MSU J-1 participant, you must complete the following steps before the participant begins their appointment:

• Request and review Third Party Host Orientation.
• Review the applicable federal regulations: 22 CFR Part 62.
• Complete the Third Party Host Agreement.
• Sign the agreement.
• Email the signed agreement to jvisas@msu.edu.

Once OISS receives the completed and signed agreement, your organization may begin hosting the J-1 participant.

Academic Training Evaluations:

Organizations hosting J-1 students participating in Academic Training must complete a final evaluation before the end of the training period.

Email the completed evaluation to jvisas@msu.edu.
