RULE PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENT

A new federal immigration rule has been published. The effective date is September 15.
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. The University is currently reviewing the rule and will provide regular updates and additional information as it becomes available.

Please note: International Advising will NOT be available on Friday, July 17. The office will be open for document pick-up and routine questions.
