项目扩展

F-1 students may apply for an extension of their status if they have not completed their program of study by their current I-20 expiration date. 延长申请的批准是由国际学生服务系统顾问自行决定的。 为了保持肯尼索州立大学招收F-1学生的联邦认证的完整性，ISSS可能会拒绝不符合以下标准的延期申请。

  • F-1 students who are eligible for an extension of program/status must meet the following criteria:

    • 符合条件的学生必须在I-20到期日之前至少一个月提交延期申请的所有文件。 I-20的截止日期列在I-20上。
    • 该学生一直保持并正在保持F-1身份。 更多关于维持F-1身份的信息。
    • The delay in completion of studies is caused by compelling, substantive academic or medical reasons. Such reasons may include changes in major or thesis/dissertation topic, unexpected research problems, or a documented medical illness. Delays caused by poor grades or academic probation or suspension are not valid reasons for program extension.
    • The student is making normal academic progress toward the degree objective listed on the Form I-20. Normal progress is the rate at which the average full-time student in the program of study completes the program requirements.

  • F-1 students 没有合法身份 if their Form I-20 expires.

    It is your responsibility to be familiar 银河娱乐博彩 the information on your I-20 at all times, including its expiration date. If you will not complete your degree program before the current expiration date on your I-20, you must:

    • 在I-20到期前申请延期。
    • 在申请延期之前，请查看F-1项目延期政策以了解更多细节。
    • 在你的I-20过期后，你不能再申请延期。 你必须申请复职。
    如何申请I-20延期
    • Log into iStart, navigate to F-1 Student Services, and complete the I-20 Extension Request e-form. 电子表格会收集以下资料：
      • 财务文档 proving sufficient funding for full-time study for the recommended period of extension or one year, whichever is shorter. 财务文档 is generally a bank statement and a sponsor form. If you are receiving a tuition waiver, scholarship, stipend, or other financial support from KSU, provide an updated letter of financial support from your academic department, along 银河娱乐博彩 the updated bank statements. Note that tuition and fees are subject to annual increases. Be sure to contact the ISSS to confirm how much financial support you should document.
      • 来自你的学术顾问的信息 explaining the reason you will need additional time to complete the program requirements and the expected semester of graduation.

    请注意: 提交I-20延期申请并不能保证申请被批准。 必须有令人信服的学术或医疗原因，才有资格获得延期。

    下一个步骤
    • The ISSS advisor will review your request 银河娱乐博彩in 3-5 business days and notify you by email of a decision or follow-up information needed if required.
    • If you are not eligible for an extension you will unfortunately not be able to continue your F-1 status at Kennesaw State University. If that is the case, an advisor in the ISSS will meet 银河娱乐博彩 you to discuss your options.
  • ISSS可以根据学生的学术顾问提供的建议延长学生的F-1状态。 例如，如果学术顾问指出学生只剩下一个学期的课程要求，ISSS将只延长一个学期。 延期I-20的截止日期将与延期结束的学期期末考试的最后一天一致。
  • Pending student eligibility and the ISSS approval, second and subsequent extension requests will be granted in one-semester increments only.
  • 如果学生在新的延长的I-20结束日期之前完成学位课程，学生的F-1状态和I-20将缩短，以反映更早的课程完成日期。 例如，如果一个学生被批准延期到2020年秋季学期，但在2020年春季完成学位，那么学生的I-20结束日期将缩短到2020年春季学期结束。
