Enrolling at Another Institution While Studying at ÃÈ·µ¼º½
F-1 international students who are maintaining full-time student status at City College of San Francisco may be eligible to take courses at other colleges and universities as part of the benefits granted to them by their F-1 status. Students may want to take advantage of this benefit if desired courses are not available in the current term at ÃÈ·µ¼º½ or if you would like to take courses in anticipation of transferring to an upper-division school, for example.
Currently, the Office of International Programs (OIP) requires F-1 students to do the following to be eligible for Concurrent Enrollment:
- You must be in good immigration standing (active I-20/F-1 status)
- You must be enrolled in a minimum of nine (9) in-person units at City College (except summer)
- You must first register for your coursework at City College before the OIP can process your request for Concurrent Enrollment
- Once approved for Concurrent Enrollment, you must be enrolled full-time (minimum of 12 units at both schools combined, except summer)
- Once approved and once the semester starts, you will have to provide us with proof of enrollment at the other college/university
