Off campus employment
F-1 students must have permission from immigration to work off campus. Off campus employment includes internships, Cooperative Education or other paid training that is not on the UAHuntsville campus. We offer employment workshops to help ensure you understand your options available. Students MUST attend a workshop before an advisor can meet with you to discuss your individual questions. Email visahelp@uah.edu to reserve a space in a workshop (space is limited to 10 students).
ALL workshops will be held in the UC room 132 (small room on the back hallway of the UC BEHIND the lobby).

Add/Drop Deadline
The deadline to add and drop classes is Friday August 20. Please remember that all undergraduate students must be enrolled in 12 credit hours and graduate students in 9 credit hours to maintain student status (unless you have received an email from the ISSO that you have been authorized for a reduced course load or you have been granted CPT for an alternating Co-op term).
Reduced Course Load
If you need to enroll in less than 12 hours (undergraduate) or 9 hours (graduate) please refer to the Reduced Course Load form (RCL) to see if you might be eligible for less than full-time enrollment. If your situation meets the options on the RCL form then take it to your advisor to sign and then drop it off in the UC room 116 to have it authorized. Sections 1, 2, and all signatures should be completed before giving it to ISSO to review.

The University will be closed Monday September 6, 2010 for Labor Day. There will be no classes and the International Student and Scholar Office will be closed.
