Please find the most frequently asked questions that our staff has been receiving this week through phone calls and emails:
I am taking a leave this semester, what do I do?
I am registered part-time, what do I do?
All F-1 and J-1 students are expected to enroll full time every semester. If you are registered part time this semester, please take a look at the OGS
Register Part-Time: Reduced Course Load or
Leave of Absence webpage for further options and information. You should discuss your situation with your academic/class advisor as well as an
OGS advisor so that your immigration status is not impacted by your academic plans.
I am registered, but I am getting emails from OGS saying I am not.
There are a few possibilities that you might be receiving an under-enrollment email from OGS:
- You have not informed OGS of your situation through submitting an eform,
- your academic advisor has not granted you full-time equivalency if it applies to you, or
- you just registered today and the system hasn't been updated with the new data yet.Â
Please reply to the email we sent you with your specific situation so that we can look into it for you.
