Part-Time Classes

To study full-time in the 10-Week Intensive ESL program, you must have an F-1 (student) visa. If you are in the U.S. on a B-1/B-2 (tourist) visa, F-2 visa, or other visa which does not allow full-time study, you may not be enrolled in more than 17 hours of classes per week. You may choose any combination of classes that add up to 17 hours or fewer. The following shows the classes in the 10-Week Intensive ESL program and the number of hours each class counts for visa purposes: 

Grammar/Writing Level 1-5: 7.5 hours per week
Reading/Writing Level 6-7: 7.5 hours per week
Speaking/Listening Level 1-7: 7.5 hours per week
Reading/Vocabulary Level 1-5: 5 hours per week

If you are a part-time student, you will need to choose which classes you will take. Because of the requirements of the U.S. immigration law, there can be no exceptions to the 17-hour-per-week limitation for part-time students. It is not possible to reduce the number of hours counted for a class by attending class fewer days per week than the class is scheduled. Doing this would simply count as absences.

If you have questions about your visa status or requirements, please email our Immigration Officials at ImmigrationOfficials@ce.uci.edu or visit them during their advising hours. Walk-up counseling is available Monday through Thursday between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. in CE 3.
