Leave of Absence, Suspension, or
Withdrawal
from Columbia University by
Students in F-1 Status
While in the United States, students
in F-1 non-immigrant status must be continuously enrolled full time
during the academic year until the completion of their programs of
study. If you take a non-medical leave of absence, withdraw
voluntarily, or are suspended or required to withdraw from the
University, you are required to leave the United States
within 15 days of this action.The only exception to
these rules is a medical leave of absence.
If
you take a leave of absence, withdraw from your program, or are
given a suspension, you must contact the ISSO immediately to
discuss your immediate plans and any plans you may have to
return.
Medical Leave of
Absence
The
only LOA that allows you to remain in the United States as an F-1
student is an approved medical leave of absence while you receiving
medical treatment in the U.S. The medical leave must be approved by
your school. The ISSO requires confirmation from your school and a
letter from your medical provider (licensed medical doctor, doctor
of osteopathy, or licensed clinical psychologist) stating 1) your
medical condition, and 2) advising the ISSO that you are unable to
be enrolled during the semester the leave is granted. You are
expected to enroll fulltime in the following term unless another
medical leave of absence is approved for the following term. Under
immigration regulations, no more than twelve months of medical
leave are allowed per degree level. Medical leaves of absence must
be approved by the ISSO in semester increments only.
Withdrawal, Voluntary Leave of
Absence, Dismissal, Suspension
For
all the above categories, F-1 students are required to depart the
United States. Your current F-1 status is "terminated"
in the
SEVIS database and you will need to request a new initial I-20 to
return to the U.S. Apply for your new I-20 certificate of
eligibility online at http://isso.columbia.edu Be sure to follow
all the instructions on the web site. You will also need to pay a
new SEVIS feeand have a valid F-1 entry visa to
return.
When
you return to the U.S. using your new initial I-20, you must report
your arrival to the ISSO so that your new SEVIS is update to Active
status. Submit the online SEVIS Report Form for New F-1 and J-1
Arrivals within the first week of your return to the U.S. This is
very important as you will lose your F-1 status if SEVIS is not
updated in a timely manner.
Important
Considerations:
If
you have not registered during the academic year for any reason
other than a sanctioned medical leave of absence, you will not be
eligible for practical training until you have completed one
academic year in F-1 status.
If
you wish to make short-term, temporary visits to the U.S. during
the period that you are on leave, suspended or withdrawn from the
University, you should not enter in F-1 status but rather on a
different visa, such as a B-2 visitor's visa. You may enter in
Student Status only if you are returning for the purpose of
resuming your studies.
If
you have taken a medical leave in the United States, you are not
permitted to engage in any student-based employment in the U.S.,
whether on-campus or off-campus, until you have been cleared to
return to your studies. If you wish to take a leave of absence to
pursue employment or any other activities in the U.S., you will
have to change your immigration status accordingly and should speak
with an ISSO adviser about your plans.
