International Student Concurrent Enrollment Request: Fill & Download for Free

No, all you need is to request your DSO at your current university then transfer your SEVIS record to the accredited community college.If you're transferring from one community college to another or from one community college to a 4 year university, it makes sense to transfer the SEVIS record. However, it doesn't make sense to be transferring from a 4 year university to a 2 year community college.If the reason for the transfer to the community college is due to high tuition costs at your 4 year university, you can obtain permission from your DSO at your university and request concurrent enrollment. This allows you to take minimum of 9 credit hours at your university and take however many you want at the community college. Bear in mind that ALL credits taken at your community college HAVE TO BE TRANSFERRED to your degree at 4 year university for you to satisfy DHS “normal progression towards degree” requirement. As long as the total (community college plus 4 year university) is >= 12 credit hours for that semester, your F1 status is legal and you're considered pursuing a full course of study. You can also take any number of classes at the community college during the summer semester too.Consult your DSO for your options.

I will be studying Applied Mathematics and Data Science at UC Berkeley in Fall 2018. I have always enjoyed the small, cozy, family-like environment at Cañada. People are especially friendly and each one of them becomes a part of my life journey. At Cañada, you really get to know everyone on a personal level and find out about their uniqueness. I want to thank Paul Roscelli, Cecilia Costelow, and Professor Po Tong. In general, I will miss the cozy atmosphere as well as a lot of people I can name, who have been part of my life journey. My advice to new international students is be open-minded, stay out of your comfort zone, never be discouraged, confront the difficulties, look at the long-run, work towards your end goal, and stay relaxed.2.Luis MendezEl SalvadorEconomics, Class of 2018Transferred to Notre Dame de Namur UniversityMy name is Luis Mendez and I am originally from El Salvador. I just completed my second year at Cañada and will be transferring to Notre Dame de Namur University for the Fall 2018 semester on a full President’s Scholarship where I’ll be studying International Business. What I will miss the most is the feeling of belonging to a small yet incredible community. I’ll miss being involved on campus because that is what helped me meet so many new people. My advice to new international students is to put yourself out there and get involved on campus! That is really important because you will not only meet new people, but put into practice what you learned in the classroom. I was to thank Misha Maggi for being my mentor and the International Student Center Staff for making my experience as an international student unforgettable.ApplyingA)Important dates for application processEventApplication deadlines:July 1 for the Fall semester (August to December)November for the Spring semester (January to May)B)Application procedure and required documents1.

The key differences between PhDs lies not so much between Europe and Asia, but between the USA and the UK, though European universities can have differing methods of assessment process (viva).So when looking at Asian university doctorate processes, observe whether they follow the US or UK model.The US model:This follows a taught doctorate approach with PhD students spending 1–4 years in taught classes, producing module coursework (essays) before proceeding to production of a single dissertation (2–4 years). USA students can potentially spend 6 years, full-time, on their PhD study. Only in the final thesis stage does the doctoral candidate undertake original research, leading typically to production of a 50–60k word thesis. In effect, the first two to four years of a US PhD are a lot like a Masters, and indeed some US universities may not make a distinction between an MA and PhD at this early stage. Only when the student has passed the taught element will they normally be permitted to move onto formal doctoral research. Final thesis assessment is typically a comprehensive exam process, likely involving oral examination, debate with supervisors/examiners, presentation and defence of your doctoral dissertation.The UK model:Doctoral candidates submit a formal and quite comprehensive PhD proposal through the university channels, usually under guidance from their likely PhD supervisor. Once the candidate has had that proposal examined, assessed and passed by all relevant university committees (including the ethics committee) then the candidate will be enrolled as a doctoral candidate and can proceed to full research mode. A full-time UK PhD takes a minimum of three, maximum of four years. Though extensions can be given upon formal request. In effect, unlike the USA model, the UK model ensures the PhD candidate proceeds to full and pure research from the outset. The only exception to this rule is if the university requires the candidate to undertake concurrent MA-level research methods training, usually lasting one or two semesters. The candidate produces a 90,000 word thesis (note, UK theses are sized on word count, not page numbers as in the USA), excluding footnotes/endnotes, bibliography, appendices. Assessment is by viva voce only. This typically involves an internal (university professor) and external professor both reading and examining the final thesis, after which the candidate will submit to an oral examination/defence of their research. The examination will conclude with the candidate being given one of four outcomes; fail; significant rewrite; minor rewrite; full pass with no alterations.
