Reasons for termination: • Unauthorized withdrawal • Failure to attend classes • Expulsion or suspension • Unauthorized employment • Cost exceeds resources • Change of nonimmigrant status • Unauthorized drop below full time • Absent from the country for more than five months • Failure to enroll • Denied transfer • Extension denied • Change of status: requirement violations, withdrawn, approved or denied • Authorized early withdrawal • Conviction of a crime • Failure to report new address within 10 days of moving • Failure to follow university policies • Otherwise failing to maintain status Dependents (F-2 Status) All dependents must have a valid I-20, passport and visa. Make sure the university has copies of each dependent’s visa, passport, I-20 and I-94. In addition, let your DSO know of changes regarding all F-2 dependents. The F-2 child may only engage in full-time study if the study is in an elementary or secondary school (kindergarten through 12th grade). The F-2 spouse and child may engage in study that is vocational or recreational. An F-2 dependent is not allowed to work. Trine University promotes intellectual and personal development through professionally focused and formative learning opportunities, preparing students to succeed, lead and serve.
