Dear students,
As we approach the last day to drop courses, we wanted to remind you that International Students are required to remain enrolled fulltime for the duration of each long semester. Unfortunately the options for waivers to this rule are limited. For example, making a poor grade in a course is not in itself an acceptable reason to drop below the fulltime enrollment requirement per immigration regulations. If you have questions about dropping a course, please remember that in addition to discussing the matter with your academic advisor, you may also need to consult with an immigration advisor<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uta.edu%2Foie%2F%3Fpage%3Dservices%26service%3Dadvising&data=02%7C01%7Csbirch%40uta.edu%7Cd9e9ebbc2e9f4705430d08d639d1a221%7C5cdc5b43d7be4caa8173729e3b0a62d9%7C0%7C0%7C636759969852499988&sdata=c5iF8qmv7q1yjWvoH7gtO9%2BH20T2vPMAAAjw5xbO904%3D&reserved=0> if dropping the course will leave you enrolled in less than your fulltime requirement. Please also remember that only one online course can count towards the enrollment requirement each semester.

You can find the waiver form here<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uta.edu%2Foie%2F%3Fpage%3Dforms%26form%3DFTEW&data=02%7C01%7Csbirch%40uta.edu%7Cd9e9ebbc2e9f4705430d08d639d1a221%7C5cdc5b43d7be4caa8173729e3b0a62d9%7C0%7C0%7C636759969852499988&sdata=15Bsq%2B%2FRDBPKv5mTSYB3EP17UsHcfFyJqMQVv%2FxXsSg%3D&reserved=0>.
