RULE PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENT
A new federal immigration rule has been published. The effective date of this rule is delayed due to a preliminary
injunction order issued on September 14, 2026.
We will update our webpage as more information becomes available.
The rule replaces Duration of Status (D/S) with fixed‑date admissions for student
and exchange visitor visa holders in the U.S., and makes changes to regulations related
to educational objectives, including requirements affecting transfers, changes of
major, and changes of degree level.
End of Duration of Status and Changes to Academic Mobility | Zoom Meetings Every Wednesday and Thursday | August 12 - December 17
Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m. | Thursdays at 3:30 p.m.
