F-1 students may be authorized by ISO to drop below full-time enrollment if they are unable to complete their courses due to the following circumstances:

  • Academic Difficulty: student has difficulties with course due to improper course placement, initial difficulty with reading requirements, or unfamiliarity with TMU teaching methods (this reason can only be used once).

  • Illness/Medical Condition: student has medical condition (medical documentation required).

  • Final Semester at TMU: student has less units remaining to complete their program than is required to maintain full-time enrollment.

Students must obtain authorization from ISO prior to dropping below full-time enrollment.
