Maintenance of F-1 Status

International students must maintain their F-1 status while in the United States attending Cottey College. The Department of Homeland Security mandates full-time enrollment, limits work opportunities, and regulates transfers and changes of status.

It is the responsibility of every student to know and understand F-1 student regulations. Students should contact a Designated School Official if problems come up.
