Are you registered as a full-time student?In order to maintain legal status in the US, students in F-1 and J-1 status are required to register full-time, which is a minimum of 12 credits per semester for most NYU programs. Make sure you register full-time or gain approval from OGS to be approved for a reduced course load. Graduate Students: Check with your department on what they consider full-time enrollment to be. If for any reason you won't be registered full time, you must have OGS permission to be registered for a reduced course load.

If we don't receive this information, you risk losing legal status in the US. See instructions on how to update your US address and phone number.
