Anticipated International Student Enrollment Requirements for Fall Term 2023

During the pandemic, F-1/J-1 students who were in valid F-1/J-1 status on March 9, 2020, and whose  SEVIS ID had not changed since then, were able to choose any combination of in-person, hybrid or online courses (including all online) as long as they maintained a full course of study (or had an approved Reduced Course Load).

Although there has not yet been an official announcement from the U.S. government, we anticipate that beginning in  Fall Term 2023, pre-pandemic enrollment requirements will once again be in effect.

This means that F-1/J-1 students will not be able to count more than three online credits towards their full-time enrollment requirement

F-1 and J-1 international students should keep this online credit limit in mind as they plan their Fall 2023 class schedules.
