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.
