Reminders for Fall 2020
Fall course registration: International students in F and J status are still permitted to take online-only courses at this time. Please enroll full time for Fall term (12 credits undergraduate, 8 credits graduate.) Your Immigration Advisor/DSO will document your full-time status based on the number of credits you are taking.Staying inside the United States: If you plan to take your classes inside the U.S. you will need to maintain a valid address. You must update your address within 10 days of the change by updating your “mailing/current” address in EagleNet.
Leaving the United States: If you plan to take your classes outside the U.S., there are several factors which could affect your immigration record. Please contact your Immigration Advisor/DSO to receive advising.
Other concerns: Please contact your Immigration Advisor/DSO right away if you plan to take less than full-time courses in Fall term, will be graduating anytime in 2020, or have any other questions or concerns about how Coronavirus restrictions will affect you, your travel plans, and/or your immigration record.
