Real Questions from Real Students
 You
asked: “I just want to know being an international student, can I pursue two
courses at same time from different colleges?”
Matthew and Jamie
answered: “International students who are in the US with an F-1 visa/status
need to get a form called an I-20 from the school that they are attending. They must be
a full-time student with this school in order to keep their F-1 status. As long as you
are maintaining full-time studies at the school that issues your I-20, you can take
additional courses at another school. You should apply for these additional classes at
the other school as a non-degree or non-matriculated student.”
Do you
have a question? Ask our June guest advisor, Amir Hadzic from Mount Mercy
University.
