Dear International Students:
Welcome back to campus and Happy New 2020! Hope you had great Christmas breaks and now that you are refreshed, you are back to achieve more in 2020. The Office of International Programs (OIP) pledges again to be of service to you. We care about your academic success and immigration stability, so, use our services and do all in your power to maintain your F-1 status. Please be cognizant of these important issues.
MAINTAINING YOUR F-1 STATUS
F-1 Status and Full-time Enrollment
F-1 students are required to register for full course load in fall and Spring semesters.
* Undergraduate students: A minimum of 12 credits
* Graduate students (Non-GAs): A minimum of 9 credits
* GAs, TAs, etc.: A minimum of 6 credits
*Course enrollment below full-time status is part-time and SEVIS record will be terminated.
Online Course Enrollment
Of the full course load, only one course can be online, according to immigration regulations.
* Undergraduate students: Must register for a minimum of 3 face-to-face courses.
* Graduate students (Non-GAs): Must register for a minimum of 2 face-to-face courses
* GAs, TAs, etc.: Must register for a minimum of 1 face-to-face course.
Failure to Maintain F-1 Status and Reinstatement Application
If a student registers part-time, s/he is out of status. SEVIS record is "TERMINATED" when student is out of status. To regain F-1 status, student must apply for "REINSTATEMENT" with the USCIS. Please ensure that you comply with enrollment regulations to avoid "Termination."
Wishing you the very best in Spring 2020!
Dr. Titi Adewale
On Behalf of the Office of International Programs (OIP)
