F-1 and J-1 students: turn in exception form before Feb 9

If you are an F-1 or J-1 student taking less than a full-course of study Spring 2006 semester, you are required to fill out an Exception form before the semester begins.

http://www.stthomas.edu/oiss/forms/exception/

If for any reason you are not registered full-time, you must fill out the form, have it signed by your academic advisor, and submit it to OISS! Failure to submit the Exception form before February 9 could affect your legal immigration status.
