OPT APPOINTMENTS
Scheduled on: Monday, September 15, 2008 @8:00am
Location:BA 350
The ISSO will schedule OPT appointments for our Fall semester graduating students from September 15, 2008 to December 1, 2008. Please remember that it is recommended you apply as early as possible as it usually takes USCIS 60-90 days to process OPT applications. For any questions, concerns, or to apply go to our website and look under OPT. Remember, you must be in the U.S. to apply for OPT. We will also be scheduling OPT workshops later in the semester. If you are in your last semester and you are planning on doing CPT, you can apply for CPT at anytime before, after, or during the same time you apply for OPT.

REDUCED COURSE LOAD
Scheduled on: Monday, August 25, 2008 @8:00am
Location:BA 350
USCIS regulations state that F-1 visa students must study full-time for the Fall and Spring semesters. Full-time for undergarduate students is 12 credit hours a semester and graduate is 9 credit hours per semester. Remember that only one (1) online/ web course counts toward the full-time requirement. There are few exceptions to the full-time requirement and you MUST have the ISSO's permission to enroll less than full-time or drop below full-time during the semester.
