All
F-1 students now have a block on their BC online accounts. If you
need to add or drop a class you must come to ISP to do this. This
block prevents ISP students from dropping below 12 credits without
Adviser approval. Remember that US Immigrations requires all BC F-1
students to take a minimum of 12 credits each quarter unless they have
ISP approval to take less. If you do not have 12 credits
and are not on an approved vacation or reduced course load quarter,
then please come to ISP ASAP to meet with an adviser!!
