Change of Academic Level

If you are completing a program and starting a new program at a higher level (e.g. if you are graduating with a bachelor’s degree and beginning a master’s degree at Tarleton), you will need to get a new Form I-20 to reflect the new level. You will need to start your new program the next available term or within five (5) months, whichever comes first.

A DSO will work with you to issue a new I-20 once you are admitted to your academic program in the College of Graduate Studies.

If you have any questions contact immigration@tarleton.edu

Dropping a Course

As an F-1 student you are required to be enrolled in a full course of study each long semester. A full course of study for the Fall and Spring semesters is:

Undergraduate Students: At least twelve (12) credit hours (minimum 9 face-to-face hours)
Graduate Students: At least nine (9) credit hours (minimum 6 face-to-face hours)

You must speak with a DSO and receive approval before dropping a course. This approval must be obtained no matter how many remaining hours your will have after the drop. A DSO checks periodically throughout the semester to ensure that students are maintaining a full course of study. If you are found to have dropped below a full course load without prior authorization, your SEVIS record will be terminated for failure to maintain status.

When dropping a course, you must submit a Course Drop Request Form to the Office of the Registrar. You must have a DSO sign the form to receive the necessary authorization.

If you need a Reduced Course Load (RCL) due to academic reasons or a documented medical condition, contact your DSO to discuss your options and eligibility. See Reduced Course Load section below for details.
