Updating GLACIER Records and I-9

April 12, 2018

As the academic year comes to a close, please remind foreign students and scholars to keep their GLACIER records updated.

Specifically, they will need to update any:

  • Extensions in their immigration status at Harvard,
  • Newly issued SSN or ITIN, 
  • Changes in contact information, 
  • Consent to receive any future 1042-S electronically through GLACIER, and
  • Changes in income type being received.

If the foreign individual is an employee, an updated I-9 may also be required if there is any change or extension in their immigration status. This is especially important to update before the individual leaves for the summer.

Failure to update either of these could adversely impact an individual’s tax classification, tax exemption, or to know if the employee is legally allowed to remain employed at Harvard.
