IMPORTANT F-1 IMMIGRATION UPDATE

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has issued a final rule that will change how F-1 students are admitted to the United States, including changes to the current Duration of Status (D/S) framework. The rule is scheduled to take effect September 15, 2026.

The changes may affect F-1 students differently depending on their individual circumstances, including travel, program changes, transfers, and program completion.

OISP is reviewing the new requirements and will provide additional guidance as implementation information becomes available.

Students with questions about their individual circumstances should contact OISP to schedule an appointment with a DSO.

F-1 students are eligible to begin on-campus employment immediately upon being admitted to the United States in F-1 status, which may be as much as 30 days before classes begin. F-1 students may engage in on-campus employment for the duration of their program of study.

Available on-campus jobs are being posted on the Careers At Franklin page. F-1 students may apply for any student or graduate assistant positions.
