To stay in status, you must enroll full time every fall and spring semester.
- Undergraduate: 12 units per term
- Graduate: 9 units per term
- IEP: 20 hours per week
Summer Sessions are optional. You must schedule at least 6 units (degree) or 20 hours (IEP) if you choose to start a program during the summer session. Otherwise, part time enrollment is allowed if you decide to take classes during the summer.
REDUCED ENROLLMENT: Consult with the International Student Advisor before scheduling fewer units than full time. If approved, submit an F-1 Reduced Enrollment form with your registration. This requirement applies to all F-1 studnets, including graduate students who have completed coursework and are maintaining continuous enrollment. EXCEPTION: Doctoral students who have formally advanced to candidacy do not need to submit the reduced enrollment form.
