This week's quote
There is a good
reason they call these ceremonies "commencement
exercises." Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning.

Summer Options for F-1 and J-1 Students
Summer is an optional term except for new international
students. New F-1 and J-1 visa students who begin
their studies at the University of St. Thomas in the summer must
enroll in at least six credit hours (undergraduate students) or
three credit hours (graduate students) to maintain their
full-time student status.
Summer term at the University of St. Thomas
begins on May 23 or when all of your final papers, exams and
projects are completed for the Spring Semester 2009. Summer
term ends for all students on Tuesday, September 8, 2009.
Continuing F-1 and J-1 visa students have
the following options during the Summer term:
- Enroll in courses at the University of
St. Thomas
- Enroll in courses at a different
university or college as a visiting student
- Do not enroll in courses at St. Thomas
or another university or college
- Work part-time or full-time on the
University of St. Thomas campus
- Work part-time or full-time off campus
with Curricular Practical Training (CPT) if you have been in
F-1 status for at least 2 academic semesters (Obtain CPT
authorization from OISS prior to starting any off-campus
employment)
- Travel home, to a different country,
or a different U.S. state (have your I-20 signed for travel
on page 3 before leaving the U.S.)
- Any combination of the above options
