INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.

A person on a non-immigrant visa attending the University is considered an international student.  International Academic Services (IAS) monitors students of F and J visas according to USCIS regulations.  International students must maintain a full course of study (12 or more credits) unless advance approval is given for an underload.  IAS assists with immigration documents, cultural and social adjustment, health issues, and other concerns which might affect a student’s immigration status and well-being.
