Re-Enrollment After Suspension

Immigration Implications

• Once your re-enrollment request is approved, you must request a new I-20/DS-2019 from the Office of International Students, Scholars & Programs (ISSP):
  
  • Login to iStart using your W&M ID and password.
  • Select F-1 Student Services 
  • Select Re-enrollment and complete the required forms.
• You must pay the SEVIS fee again.
• If your visa is still valid, you may use that to enter the U.S. If it has expired, you must apply for a new F-1 or J-1 visa.
• You can enter the U.S. 30 days or less before the program date on your new I-20 or DS-2019.
• If you are already in the U.S. in another status, you will most likely need to leave and then return in F-1 or J-1 status. Contact ISSP for more information.
• Your OPT and CPT eligibility have reset. You must be in F-1 status for at least 2 additional semesters to be eligible.

Procedure

To return to W&M, you must apply to the Dean of Students for re-enrollment.
