What are the responsibilities for international students?
You are required to take 12 units every semester. Schools are required to report to SEVIS when a student drops below a full course of study 12 units or fails to enroll. You are not required to register for summer quarter, but you must be registered for a full course of study throughout the academic year in order to maintain your valid student visa status. There are certain circumstances under which FLC can approve the “drop below” but in all cases this approval must be done by FLC before the student actually drops below, otherwise the student will fall out of status, even if the reason is valid.
