International Admissions F-1-Regulation Guide

—— Violations of F-1 Status

Attendance in the Classroom F-1 degree programs offered through Embry-Riddle Worldwide sites are not online programs. Attendance in the classroom is mandatory; missing more than two classes in one nine-week term will result in your SEVIS record being canceled. F-1 students are not authorized to log in to courses remotely. Logging in remotely to an on-ground course without permission will result in immediate termination of the SEVIS I-20 record. Attendance in the classroom is mandatory, and failure to report to class on time will not be tolerated. We have a zero-tolerance policy for non-attendance due to distance from the site, traveling and bad weather. This includes arriving late to class. Unexcused absence reasons also include working on OPT or CPT/internships, car trouble, traffic, flight delays/cancellations and being on holiday/vacation. You must remain in contact with the DSO at all times to ensure you maintain status. If you do not, you will be reported to the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement as “out of status” and your I-20 will be terminated.

1. Enrolling in less than a full course of study. A minimum of six credit hours at the undergraduate level or one in-person course at the graduate level is considered full-time. To drop below full-time, you must have approval from your DSO. 2. Attending a school other than the one the student is authorized to attend on his/her I-20 without properly following the school transfer procedures. 3. Failure to apply for a transfer, program extension or change in program level in a timely manner. 4. Unauthorized employment.
