Immigration Tip
Go to class!
At Miami University, attendance in class is required. Your professors will typically indicate how many classes you are permitted to miss and will take attendance on a daily basis. Please make sure that you are attending all of your classes and showing up to them on-time and in-person. Be aware that you can be dropped from your courses for missing too many classes. If this causes you to drop below full-time enrollment, it can have serious consequences for your legal status in the U.S. If you are struggling with your classes, do not stop attending! Visit your professors during office hours to seek advice, or utilize resources on campus such as the Rinella Learning Center.
If you aren’t sure who to talk to, make an appointment with an ISSS Advisor.
Ask an Advisor
Question: Am I allowed to work on campus? How can I find a job?
Ask an Advisor: Woking on Campus
