Welcome International Students
Important Message
Spring 2023 online course restriction update from U.S. Immigration:
All F-1 international students must be enrolled in at least one fully in-person or
in-person/partially online course as part of their 12-unit minimum, full-time course
load in order to enter and stay in the U.S. This is required by U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) based
on a recent update to regulations as of June 1, 2022. Please see the recent announcement
on the ISO Canvas page for more details. You must have a spring 2023 class schedule
that includes a fully in-person or in-person/partially online class as part of your
12-unit minimum full-time course load in accordance with these regulations.
