Immigration Policies
Students studying in the US with an F-1 visa must maintain full-time student status or minimum of 12 credits. Average course load is 15 credits per semester. This policy requires students at the beginning and intermediate level to take 3 ESL program classes.
International students who travel outside the U.S. on holiday or for other reasons must have their I-20 signed by the ESL Compliance Officer before leaving on their trip. Therefore, students must plan well ahead of expected travel time for travel outside the U.S.
International students are allowed to work on campus part-time. Campus jobs cannot begin until a student receives his/her social security card. It takes about two weeks after arrival and completion of request to receive the social security document. There are few campus jobs so it is best not to expect campus employment. Immigration law does not allow foreign students to work off campus.
