General Information & Policies affecting I-20 VISA holders:

Students must maintain a minimum of 12 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. Only one (3 hour) Internet or distance education course will count towards full-time enrollment requirements.

• If the student changes address
• If the student legally changes their name
• If the student changes their major
• If the student enrolls in another institution
• If the student intends to transfer.

International students may work on-campus, if positions are available. International students may not work off-campus unless the student receives an Employment Authorization Document from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Government regulations require international students to certify that they have finances deemed sufficient by the College while pursuing their degree without employment. Thus, international students should not expect to support themselves through employment while attending 世界十大博彩公司网站.

Transfers from U.S. Institutions:  If currently “in status” under a F Visa, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services must be notified when an international student transfers from one U.S. institution to another. Once a student is admitted, 世界十大博彩公司网站 will provide a “transfer-in form” that will need to be completed by the previous U.S. institution and submitted to 世界十大博彩公司网站 to release the active Visa information for update.

However, if a student is “out of status” with USCIS, that student should reinstate him/herself with USCIS prior to enrolling at 世界十大博彩公司网站. Questions regarding a student’s immediate immigration status must be directed to the Assistant Registrar. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain the correct visa and to maintain the appropriate immigration status while in the United States.
