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 | Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m. | Thursdays at 3:30 p.m.

International Advising will NOT be available on Wednesday, November 25 at Discovery Park.
