EMI goes green with downloads for E and L course materials:

The EMI will no longer provide printed copies of student manuals, handouts, and supplemental materials for in person E and L courses. Instead, these course materials will be available to download for a period of 4 weeks prior to the scheduled course start date.

You will need a Student Identification (SID) Number in order to access the download page for these course materials. If you do not have one, you may register for one here:  https://cdp.dhs.gov/femasid.

Students who are registered for E and L courses will receive a link to the necessary course materials from their course instructors. The course materials will, with little exception, be provided in an accessible PDF form. Any student who wishes to take notes can use this resource to discover the comment, notes, and annotation functionalities built in to the free ADOBE reader for PDF files.
