Maintaining Your F-1 or J-1 Status
As an F-1 or J-1 visa student you are responsible for maintaining your visa status. It is important to be aware of all regulations and to always meet all enrollment requirements. The first step to doing so is by reading your IUPUI email. The Office of International Affairs uses IUPUI email to notify students of any changes in regulations that are important for maintaining status. We also send out reminders when there is a requirement you have not met.
Please read the information in the links below carefully. If you have any questions regarding your visa status and how to maintain it, please email iadvisor@iupui.edu, or make an appointment to see us in person by calling 317-274-7000.
