Maintaining Status
As a F or J student, it is your responsibility to understand and comply with the terms of your immigration status during your stay in the United States. Any violation of the immigration regulations could jeopardize your status and legal stay in the U.S.
Maintaining your status begins with these basic principles:
- Always read your emails from CSUF and International Students & Scholars (ISS)
- Follow campus and ISS deadlines
- Attend class meetings and strive to do well academically.
Below are links to specific immigration rules, and what you must do to maintain your status.
