etc.) to students in online programs or undergraduate evening on-campus programs. International students presently living in
the U.S. who are registering for online programs or undergraduate evening on-campus classes must provide proof of
non-immigrant status. Please submit a copy of: Your current visa document (Form I-20, Form DS-2019, Form
I-797, Employee Authorization Card, etc.); visa stamp; and I-94 card (https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/) with your registration form. F-1 and
J-1 students from another academic institution must obtain the consent of their U.S. sponsoring institution in

Scholars Office (ISSO). These students will not be permitted to be full-time or degree seeking students at
UMass Lowell while maintaining F-1 or J-1 student status from another academic institution. Students holding
B-1 and B-2 status may not register for any academic classes. F-2 spouses and minor children of a legal F-1
student may not engage in a full-time program of study, but may work towards completion of a degree while on
part-time status. Please contact the International Students and Scholars Office at international@uml.edu with any questions.
