International students on F-1 and J-1 student visas must be enrolled full time in the Fall and Spring terms to maintain their status. When finalizing your registration for the upcoming Fall 2024 term, international students should remember that while they may enroll in online courses, only one online course (up to a maximum of three credit hours) may count towards this full-time requirement. It is important that you finalize your full-time registration prior to the 10th day of classes (September 9) to maintain your status.

August 23 is the last business day to cancel spring registration and receive a 100% refund (Withdrawal/Cancellation Form required); August 25 is the last day to cancel registration via Self-Service and receive a 100% refund. The refund schedule for Fall 2024 can be found on the Registrar's website. Students enrolled in non-standard part of term courses should refer to their graduate program for deadline information.
