How will the International Office help students comply with the immigration laws?
The International Office is committed to assisting students in ways that prevent status violations from ever occurring. The following procedures will be in place to help students stay on track. Others will be developed as the program develops. A. As soon as any major changes in immigration law occur, the International Office will create an INS QUICK NOTES to place on the MC website. Check this site often! B. You will review your passport, visa and I-20 each semester when you register as a reminder. However, it is your responsibility to renew these documents. The International Office will make copies for your file. C. All F-1 students who register for less than an full course of study (other than summer) without a waiver of the full-time requirement will lose their status. The International Office must have an approved waiver for each semester you drop below the required full time status before you complete registration. All waivers for a reduced course load will require proper document
