If you entered the United States on an F-1 visa, you are required to maintain F-1 status by studying full time in the Language and Culture Center (LCC).

What am I required to do while studying in the LCC? 

• Attend and pass all classes. Do not stop attending classes without first speaking with your teachers.
• Keep your Form I-20 valid at all times. If you believe that you will be unable to complete studies in the LCC by the end date listed on your Form I-20, contact the Director of Student Services and request a program extension before your Form I-20 expires.
• Keep your passport valid at least 6 months into the future.
• Report new home address, phone number, and email address to the LCC within 10 days of change.
• Contact the Director of Student Services before you travel outside the United States if you want to take a break from school or if you want to transfer to a new school.

May I work?

• You may work up to 20 hours a week while school is in session.
• You may work up to 40 hours a week when school is not in session or during an annual vacation approved by the Director of Student Services.
• You may not work off campus.

Meet the Director of Student Services immediately!  

• Before you stop attending classes.
• If you cannot study full time.
• If you are dropped from the LCC.
