Continuous Enrollment for International Students
To maintain student visa status, U.S. and Canadian immigration laws require international students to be in continuous full-time enrollment. City University of Seattle defines international student full-time status as follows:
- Undergraduate programs – fifteen (15) credits per term
- Graduate programs – six (6) credits per term in the US and nine (9) credits per term in Canada
- English as a Second Language program – twenty (20) hours per week (US only)
Distance learning courses may only contribute to full-time status as defined by U.S./Canadian immigration regulations.
