Full-time Enrollment Requirements
 

In order to comply with visa regulations, students on the F-1 or J-1 student visas must maintain full-time enrollment each Fall, Winter and Spring Quarter during their studies at Wright State University.

DEFINITION OF - Full-time Enrollment Requirements

For Graduate Students:
At Wright State University, full-time enrollment is the completion of a minimum of 8 credit hours of enrollment each Fall, Winter and Spring Quarter.

For Undergraduate Students:
Full-time enrollment is defined by the immigration regulations to be the completion of a minimum of 12 credit hours of enrollment each Fall, Winter and Spring Quarter.


*SPECIAL NOTES*:
a) For both the above definitions, immigration regulations impose a limit for each academic period of enrollment that no more than one “on-line” or “distance education” course may be counted toward fulfilling the full-time enrollment requirements. WSU students are expected to comply with this regulation on their own and may be found in violation of their visa status if at any time during their studies, a routine audit of their transcript reveals that they have not complied with this regulation. Students in violation of this rule will be terminated in SEVIS and advised to leave the country or apply for reinstatement to student status. No prior warnings will be given.

b) If recommended by the student’s academic adviser, registration for CPE091 may be considered as full-time enrollment, thus excusing the student from the requirement to enroll in any other classes for the academic term during which the student enrolls for this co-op class.

c) Students may attempt to justify for less than full-time enrollment through consulting with a UCIE adviser and presenting a completed “RCL” form (Reduced Course Load form) – click here for the form
