To fulfill the requirements of your J-1 Student Visa and CWU's exchange program, there
are several guidelines you must follow.
-
Full Time Status
As an international exchange student, it is expected that you maintain full-time student
status. Full-time status means that you must take at least 12 credits each quarter.
This is generally three to four classes.
-
Health Insurance
J-1 Exchange students are also required to carry approved medical insurance.
For more information please see your advisor.
-
Employment
J-1 Exchange students are elgible for part-time on-campus employment only. If interested,
please contact your advisor for more information on the employment process once you arrive
on campus. You are not elgible to accept employment until you have received work
authorization from Study Abroad & Exchange Programs Office and obtained a Social
Security card.
-
International Travel
In most cases, travel outside of the United States is possible during your exchange.
Always talk with your advisor when planning any trips. Your advisor
will be able to provide you with a travel letter and will ask for emergency contact
information for you during your time away from Ellensburg. Additionally remember that you
must always get a travel signature on your DS-2019
before leaving the U.S.
-
Change of Address
If you move during your stay in the U.S. you must notify the Study Abroad & Exchange
Programs Office within 10 days of moving, to give them your new address.
