Financial Markets and Institutions

F-1 students must be full-time students during their first term and can take a reduced course load in their final academic term, as long as there are no other degree requirements. Students are not eligible for OPT, as they have not completed one academic year (two quarters having been completed rather than the three quarters that is the academic year).
