Students, who have completed their program of study and choose to travel to Canada or Mexico, will not be able to re-enter the United States as an F-1 student unless they have received authorization to begin a new degree program within 5 months. Students may need to apply for a US travel visa in order to re-enter that United States.
Students planning on leaving the country for more than 5 months, will need to meet with a DSO to discuss the impact their absence will have on their immigration status.
