Starting in fall 2023, international students will again be allowed to take just one fully online class as part of their minimum enrollment requirement. Attend Anywhere classes are considered to be online for immigration purposes.
Full time enrollment for undergraduate students consists of at least 12 credits per term. Of those 12 required credits, only 1 course, or 3 credits, may be fully online or Attend Anywhere.
Here are some examples of undergraduate student course combinations that show which combinations meet the in-person course requirement and which do not:
Enrollment | Explanation | |
✅ | 4 credit course - in person/hybrid 4 credit course - in person/hybrid 4 credit course - online 12 credits total | Only one course is online. 4 credits is okay because it’s only one course. |
❌ | 4 credit course - in person 4 credit course - in person 2 credit course - online 2 credit course - online 12 credits total | 2 courses - totalling more than 3 credits - are fully online. Does not meet the enrollment requirement. |
✅ | 4 credit course - in person/hybrid + 4 credit course - in person/hybrid + 4 credit course - online = 12 credits to meet requirements + 4 credit course - online = 16 credits total | After meeting the requirements for 12 credits, additional credits above 12 may be taken in any delivery method. |
