How many credits do I need to maintain my full-time F-1 student status?

Body

Full Course of Study Requirement

F-1 international students are required by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations to enroll in and complete a full course of study each fall and spring semester. Full-time enrollment is defined as 12 credit hours for undergraduate students and 9 credit hours for graduate students, though some exceptions may exist. Please keep in mind only one distance education course may count towards the full course of study each semester. In addition, auditing a course does not count towards the minimum full-time enrollment at WSU. It is extremely important to speak with an International Student Advisor BEFORE dropping below a full course of study.
