Winter 2021 enrollment will be required for all international students to maintain their F-1 student immigration status. While Detroit Mercy expects that the Fall 2020 guidance regarding online enrollment will continue to Winter 2021, it is not guaranteed. ISO will update this page immediately once SEVP posts new guidance for Winter 2021.

- To educate and enforce immigration regulations mandated by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State; ensure that Detroit Mercy and the international students that attend are in compliance.
