The following grades may jeopardize your immigration status: F Fail I Incomplete NP No pass We recommend that you speak with an international student advisor as soon as you know you may receive one of the grades above so that your options can be explained to you. Co-Enrollment International students may enroll simultaneously at two USCIS-approved institutions. This is called being co-enrolled. PSU policy requires those students wishing to co-enroll to carry at least half of their required credits at PSU (for undergraduate students, this means at least 6 credits, for graduate students, at least 5 credits). Your remaining credits may be taken at another institution. If you wish to co-enroll, you must do the following: • •

Bring proof of your enrollment at the other institution to East Hall, Room 101 (ISSS), before the first Friday of the term in which you wish to co-enroll. Bring an unofficial grade report to ISSS at the end of each term you co-enroll. Please note: your co-enrollment at another institution may not affect your progress towards completing your degree in a timely manner. The classes you are taking at other institutions should count towards your graduation from PSU.

If you are interested in co-enrolling, you should speak to an international student advisor at ISSS before doing so to ensure that you understand the process and regulations.

Additional Requirements You must understand your immigration status and maintain it. This includes obtaining extensions of your I-20 (F-1 students) or DS-2019 (J-1 students) if you will not complete your program by the date indicated on those forms. In addition, you must notify ISSS of changes to your major or level of study. You must receive permission from ISSS before working on or off campus.
