Online Course Enrollment

An online, or distance learning, course for the purpose of international student regulations means a course that is primarily offered through technology and does not require the student's physical attendance for classes, examinations or other purposes integral to completion of the class.

• Only one online or distance learning class can count toward a full course of study for an F-1 student during each term or semester.
• No online or distance learning classes may count toward an M-1 or ESL student's full course of study requirement.

If you are unsure which courses count toward the requirements for a full course of study, talk to your DSO to verify your schedule meets the requirements to maintain your status.
