ACC has been monitoring the SEVP changes over the past week and can confirm that F-1 students in the U.S. are now allowed to continue taking classes online, hybrid, face-to-face or any combination of these. As an F-1 student in the U.S. you will continue to meet your student visa eligibility requirements by enrolling full-time in at least 12 credit hours. We have notified students about their current options and are available to meet with them if they have any questions. All of the ISO staff contact information can be found below.
Welcome to Austin Community College! Endless opportunities await to help you reach your goals and make your mark on the world. The International Student Office is eager to guide you toward a rewarding college experience. We offer support from the time you apply to ACC until you earn an associate degree and/or transfer to a university.
It's our pledge to help you succeed at ACC.
