As ASU’s fall 2026 session A comes to a close and session B begins shortly, we want to remind all F-1/J-1 students of the full time enrollment requirements.  

Session A ends on October 9, 2026.  Session B begins on October 14, 2026.  The last day to add a session B class without college approval is October 15, 2026.  

• Undergraduate students must have at least 9 in-person credits.
• Graduate students must have at least 6 in-person credits.

Please note that you must have in-person credits throughout the entire academic semester.

Review the enrollment requirements

Dropping a class that puts you below full-time after the session B add deadline may impact your ability to return to full-time enrollment. Failure to meet full-time enrollment requirements will jeopardize your immigration status. If you are unsure whether dropping a class will affect your status, please contact the ISSC before making any changes.

Receiving an “E” grade for a course does not impact your immigration status.  For more information about the full time enrollment requirements, please review our Full-Time Enrollment webpage.
