International students can interrupt their student enrollment at the university for the current or upcoming term/terms. Students wishing to interrupt their enrollment must meet with an International Student Advisor in ISS to discuss their immigration status and options as an F-1 student.
Undergraduate students may interrupt their enrollment for up to four consecutive semesters without officially requesting a leave from the University Registrar’s office.
Students in their first academic term must receive assistance from the Dean of Students office.
Re-enrollment at Chapman university will require some planning and preparation. We recommend that you plan your return at least 3 months in advance.
International Student Services provides general guidance. Any advice provided to you by the ISS should not be construed as legal advice.
Additionally, due to the fluid nature of governmental interpretation, government agencies such as USCIS/ICE/CBP may change their interpretation of immigration laws/regulations and eligibility requirements for benefits at any time. We will do our best to provide the most current guidance.
Each case is fact-specific and it is advised that you contact an experienced immigration attorney if you have questions regarding your situation.
