-completed F-1 Document Request Form to ISP ASAP!
F-1 visa students traveling without the appropriate documentation may be delayed or denied entry back to the USA.

- No Late Adds or Drops will be accepted/processed. All adds and no show drops must be completed the first two weeks of the 12-week term or by deadlines in the portal for late starting/nonconforming classes.
- "W" drops: W's are now assigned effective Census date. There is no “grade of no record” as in past terms.
- End of term adds/drop will not be accepted. Students who have attended all quarter without official registration will not be added retroactively.
