The ISO, and most MIT offices, will be closed on Monday, October 14, 2024 in observance of the Indigenous Peoples’ Day holiday.

The ISO will close for walk-ins beginning at 3:00pm on Friday, October 11 and will re-open for walk-in office hours at 10:00am on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

If you have an urgent/emergency situation that cannot wait until the office re-opens on Tuesday, October 15, you may call the ISO Emergency Phone Number (617-258-5480). The emergency phone line should especially be used if you are experiencing any travel issues at the U.S. ports-of-entry/U.S. Customs and Border Protection. If you get voicemail, please leave a message and an ISO Staff member will call you back.

For inquiries that can wait until after the ISO re-opens, please feel free to email your ISO Advisor or contact the ISO during office hours on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

Wishing you an enjoyable holiday weekend!
