\section{International Students---Less than Full-Time Status}
International students on an F-1 or J-1 Visa are responsible for enrolling as full-time student (minimum 9 credits for graduate students) for the spring and fall semesters according to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization rules governing registration requirements. Under certain circumstances, a reduced workload may be allowed. To request approval for a course reduction, students should submit the F-1/J-1 Request for Reduced Course Load Form (https://internationalservices.gwu.edu/forms-handouts/). More information is available by calling the ISO at (202) 994-4477.

\section{Independent Study Course Requirements}
Independent study is designed to provide students with an opportunity to gain or enhance public health knowledge and to explore an area of interest related to public health research or the delivery and/or administration of health services. Instructions and forms required for registration (http://publichealth.gwu.edu/academics/forms/) are available. Independent study projects may not be used as a substitute for an available required or elective course and may not cover substantially the same subject matter that is available in a required or elective course.

\section{Graduation}
While degrees are awarded at the end of each semester, formal commencement ceremonies occur only in May. Students are eligible to graduate only after they have completed all degree requirements and have no financial obligations to the University. Students may include degree designation (BS, MS, MPH, MHA, DrPh, or PhD) after their name only when they have completed all degree requirements.

\section{Other Regulations}
Other regulations applicable to graduate students of the University can be found in University Regulations. (http://bulletin.gwu.edu/university-regulations/)
