Immigration regulations require that all F-1 students register for and complete a full course of study each semester during the academic year. A student may request a reduced course load if the reason meets the criteria outlined by immigration regulations. A request for a reduced course load must be supported by your academic advisor as well as Gonzaga’s ISSS Office, and must be pre-approved.
Dropping below a full course of study without PRIOR approval from ISSS will result in losing of visa status.
