[NewIntlStudents] FW: Are you enrolled as required by SEVP?

[New International Students]

This is a general email to ALL international students for the fall semester.

As a reminder, all F-1 and J-1 international students are required by the Student Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to enroll in a full course of study each fall and spring semester.  We have been receiving a number of inquiries related to enrollment that are addressed in the attached handout.  PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE AND REVIEW THIS HANDOUT TO ENSURE YOU ARE ENROLLED AS REQUIRED.  If you have a full-time graduate assistantship, are in your final semester, or are working on a thesis/dissertation the attached handout addresses any and all options with the necessary steps for reporting.

After this week the ISSS will begin reporting student's enrollment through SEVIS registration and if you are not enrolled as required, as indicated in the attached handout, then you could face significant difficulty.  The ISSS cannot make any exception to the full course of study requirement outside of what is allowed by SEVP.  Failure to enroll as required will result in you being in violation of your visa status and this will jeopardize your ability to remain here.  Please do not ignore our guidance.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL.  FOR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS EMAIL INTL.STU at TAMUC.EDU<mailto:INTL.STU at TAMUC.EDU>.
