Does being an international student affect pregnancy or parenting accommodations?

International students with F-1 or J-1 status are required to be enrolled full-time by federal regulations in the Fall/Spring semesters or in the summer semester if it is the first or last semesters. A student may apply for a medical reduced course load from International Student and Scholar Services. It must be approved by ISSS prior to dropping below full-time enrollment. Please consult ISSS for additional information regarding dropping below full-time enrollment. For international students with other status (not F-1 or J-1), enrollment is not restricted by immigration regulations.
