Visa Validity After Break in Studies

Visa validity after break in studies:

According to the Department of State, if you have a break in your studies of five months or more, then your current student visa will be considered invalid, even if you depart the country in good status. For students who remain continuously enrolled during the academic year and maintain their student status, this does not apply.

If you will have a break in your studies of this length, please visit with someone in International Student Services, so we can help.
