Due to the current situation caused by the coronavirus/COVID-19, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is allowing students on an F-1 student visa to take online courses and Seattle University has been designated as hybrid through the end of December 2021 and will most likely apply for an extension as conditions continue.
Please remember you still need to be registered full-time to maintain status.
Under the current temporary rule, if fall is your first term in F-1 status in the United States, you should be taking at least one course that has an in-person component.
If you are outside the U.S., you can be fully online but will not be in F-1 status unless you already have a Continued Attendance SEVIS Form I-20.
Please check with the International Student Center (ISC) for your specific requirements.
You will only need an updated Form I-20 if you have left the country and will need an updated travel signature to return to the U.S.
If you remain in the U.S. and have a travel signature that is not more than 6 months old, you do not need an updated Form I-20 at this time.
Please contact the International Student Center (ISC) if you would like an updated document.
If you need an updated Form I-20, DHS is allowing electronic documents to be official so your immigration advisor can send you your updated SEVIS Form I-20 via email.
You should still print the document in color and sign page 1 before using it.
If you have other documents, such as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) for your post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT), your immigration advisor at the ISC can coordinate having that mailed to you.
