How do I set up and access the SEVP Portal?

On the start date of your OPT work authorization, you will receive an email from do-not-reply.SEVP@ice.dhs.gov to your ASU Public Email address. The subject line will be “Optional Practical Training Approval.” A link will be provided in the email for you to set up your SEVP Portal account.

Please note:

• You must access the initial set up email within 31 days of receiving it.

• The link contained in the email is for one-time use only.

• To set up the account, you must log in with the Public Email listed on your My ASU Profile.

• After you have successfully set up your account, the SEVP Portal can no longer be reached through the setup link. You will need to go to https://sevp.ice.gov/opt/#/login.
