For Graduating Seniors DECEMBER 2013- Declaration of Final Semester

| 0 comments

Are you finishing your program at UMass Boston this semester? If so, then you might not be a full time student (12 credits for undergrad, 9 for grad). As you know, it is important to be a full time student while you are an F-1 International Student, BUT for your final semester, it is permissible to be less than full time.

In order to be less than full time you MUST submit the Declaration of Final Term form to ISSS at the beginning of the semester. If you do not submit this form, your I-20 might be terminated.

Even if you will still be full time, it is still advisable to officially declare your final term to ISSS. By submitting the Declaration of Final Term form, you will be provided with detailed information on OPT workshops and the next steps you should take as an F-1 International Student.

Please note that this form is only to be used if you are certain that this fall 2013 will be your final semester in your program. 

Please visit our Forms page to download the Declaration of Final Term form and submit it to ISSS right away!

Have a great fall!
