No, international students do not need to take summer courses. Unless something has changed under the current administration.
However, summer is only required at full-time status when it is the student’s first semester at the school and they are admitted for Summer, otherwise never again are they required to attend in Summer (some exceptions not necessary here, meaning if you have an issue attending a full semester in Fall/Spring that exceeds more than 5-month gap from one semester to another OR if you are coming off of OPT later in a normal semester and cannot enroll to maintain status).
Please note, this is extremely complicated. For specific questions on this, you should reach out to the International Student Support team atÌý[email protected]. However, international students can complete graduate courses online/remote if that option is available to them.
When a student decides to enter onto US soil to complete the program in-person they will need to complete the two financial documents. Students should plan far in advance to ensure they will get here on time to begin classes.
