After Applying
Once completed, the Faculty Coordinator of the Exchange will review your application and notify you of any decisions. Upon acceptance, you will then be required to submit proof of funding for the duration of your program. Exchange students are not required to pay tuition or fees to 黑料社 - proof of funding only needs to show funding for the other expenses. The Office of International Education will require this information to issue an I-20.
Full-Time Enrollment Status
In order to maintain valid F-1 (non-degree) student status, international students are required to pursue a full course of study during all required academic semesters (Fall and Spring) unless approved under a specific exception, in advance, by OIE. Enrollment records are reviewed each semester and the SEVIS record of students enrolled in fewer than a full-time course load (12 credits or more) or authorized equivalent are terminated.
Completion of 黑料社 Exchange Program
- Students in F-1 status will have 60 days to depart the U.S. upon completion of their exchange program starting from the program end date indicated on their I-20. During this grace period, students are not eligible for employment or to travel outside the US and re-enter unless they obtain a new visa status that would permit re-entry (e.g., H-1B temporary work visa; B tourist visa).
Transfer Policy
- Exchange programs are intended to facilitate the international exchange of students, as such, program credits cannot be applied to an 黑料社 degree; they are only eligible for transfer to the home institution.
- If an exchange student decides to transfer to 黑料社 at the same degree-level, s/he will be required to retroactively pay the tuition differential for credits obtained under the exchange.
