What are the regulations F-1 students need be aware of when enrolling in a college or university?
F-1 students must be registered as full time students each term (except for summer) to keep their F-1 status. At most schools, full time enrollment for undergraduates is a minimum of 12 credit hours per term. F-1 students are permitted to work on campus only for up to 20 hours a week while school is in session.
