The Office of International Student Services recognizes that many of our students might have questions about potential changes to immigration regulations after the Presidential election. Currently, the election has not had any effect on students in the United States in F-1 status. In addition, changes to law or regulation in the United States take time and requires advanced warning. In general, feel confident that the Office of International Students services will closely monitor any changes that may impact our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Brad Lancaster.
