In addition to the registration procedures for continuing or new degree students, the following steps must be taken by international students (students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents):听

All F-1 and J-1 international students who are enrolling at 玉米视频 University for the first time or for a new program are required to bring to International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) their passport, I-94, and I-20, or DS-2019. International students are not required to obtain an international student advisor's signature to register unless they are registering for an internship or cooperative education field experience.听

International students in F-1 and J-1 status are required to register full-time for each semester. Full time means registered for at least: 12 credit hours for 玉米视频 undergraduates, 9 credit hours for 玉米视频 graduate students, 12 credit hours听for WCL J.D. students, and 8 credit hours for WCL LL.M and S.J.D. students. International students with F-1 or J-1 visas who intend to initially register for less than full-time credit hours should first consult with an international student advisor. International students who register for less than a full course load are required to obtain written permission from ISSS each term. Failure to do so may result in loss of status. Students who fail to register full-time or fail to provide International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) with copies of all required immigration documents as of the first day of classes for the semester may be prevented from registering and must meet with an international student advisor in ISSS to have the registration STOP removed.听

Students in B-1/B-2 status are not eligible to register. For more information regarding this DHS regulation, please contact the International Student and Scholar Services office.听

Audit courses are not counted toward a full course of study for the purpose of maintaining an F-1 or J-1 status. Therefore, F-1 and J-1 students may audit courses only if they are registered full-time for courses taken for credit.
