The student, in their final semester, learned too late that at least nine hours of in-person classes are mandatory to graduate. With the deadline to add courses already passed, they are now panicking over potential visa revocation.

A Common Issue Among Students

This problem is widespread among international students. Many do not fully understand the strict academic rules and discover them only when their visa status or career is threatened.

Flaws in the System

The case highlights shortcomings in educational institutes and the system at large. Without proper orientation and clear communication, students’ academic and career goals can be seriously affected.

Need for Better Guidance

Students often rely on online advice due to insufficient support from their colleges. Greater efforts are needed to inform students about rules and regulations to prevent such stressful and risky situations.
