RCL due to academic challenges may be approved in the following situations:

• Initial difficulty with English language or reading requirements
• Unfamiliarity with U.S. teaching methods
  (Only available during your first semester/trimester at SPU if you have no prior U.S. educational experience)
• Improper course level placement

Conditions:

• May be used only once per program level
• Student must remain enrolled in at least half the full-time requirement (e.g., 6 credits for undergraduates)
• Student must return to full-time enrollment in the next required term

F-1 students who are experiencing temporary medical conditions may be eligible for a reduced course load (RCL) or, in some cases, no course load at all. To request this accommodation, students must submit medical documentation to the Center for Global Learning (CGL).

The documentation must be issued by one of the following licensed professionals:

• Medical Doctor (M.D.)
• Psychiatrist
• Licensed Psychologist
• Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.)
• Licensed Clinical Psychologist

The documentation will be reviewed and kept on file in accordance with federal regulations. Please note:

• Authorization for reduced course load due to medical reasons is limited to a total of 12 months per academic program level.
• If a student has already used the full 12-month allowance, they are not eligible for additional medical RCL until progressing to a new program level (e.g., from undergraduate to graduate studies).

Note: Letters from nurse practitioners, counselors, social workers, or chiropractors are not acceptable per immigration regulations.

If you are in your last term and do not need a full course load to graduate, you may be authorized to take only the remaining required courses.

Conditions:

• If only one course remains, it must be taken in person.
• You must not register for unnecessary elective courses to appear full-time.

Review the eligibility requirements for the type of RCL you are requesting:

• Academic Difficulties: May include initial difficulty with the English language, reading requirements, unfamiliarity with U.S. teaching methods, or improper course placement.
• Medical Condition: Must be supported by documentation from a U.S.-licensed medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy, or licensed clinical psychologist.
• Final Semester: You are in your last academic term and need fewer courses to graduate.
  

If you’re unsure which category applies to you, contact the Center for Global Learning (CGL) before submitting your request.

Depending on the type of RCL, gather required documents:

• Academic Difficulty: Obtain a letter from your academic advisor documenting your situation. You may be asked to meet with a DSO for additional clarification.
• Medical Condition: Obtain a signed letter on official letterhead from an eligible medical professional recommending a reduced course load for the specific term. (Sample Letter)
• Final Semester: Verify with your academic advisor or degree audit that you are in your final semester.

1. Log in to the International Student Portal using your Saint Peter’s credentials.
2. Navigate to the Student Request Center and then "Reduced Course Load Request".
3. Complete the form by selecting the appropriate RCL type and uploading any required documentation. NOTE: Students applying for RCL due to academic reasons or last semester/trimer of studies must enter their academic advisor as the approver. Students applying for RCL due to medical reasons must enter the Dean of their school as the approver.
4. Submit the request for review.

• A DSO will review your request and notify you via the portal and email once a decision has been made.
• If approved, your SEVIS record will be updated and you will be issued an updated I-20 reflecting the RCL authorization.

Do not drop classes or reduce your course load until your request has been approved.

If you drop below full-time without prior written authorization from the Center for Global Learning (CGL), your SEVIS record will be terminated, and you will fall out of status. This could affect your ability to stay in or return to the U.S.

No. During required semesters, F-1 students can count only one online course or 3 credits toward the full-time enrollment requirement. The rest must be in-person or hybrid with required physical attendance.

No, the summer term is optional unless:

• it is your first semester (then full-time is required), or
• it is your final semester (then you must be enrolled in at least one in-person course).

If you're in your final term and need only one course to complete your program, that course must be in-person. It cannot be taken online—even if it’s more convenient.

You may be approved for an RCL for academic difficulty only once per academic program level (e.g., once during undergraduate, once during graduate).

It depends on the type of RCL:

• Academic Difficulty or Final Semester: On-campus employment and CPT may still be allowed.
• Medical Condition: You may not be eligible for employment or CPT, depending on the severity of your condition and your enrollment status. Speak with a DSO before making any decisions.

Only the following U.S.-licensed professionals can provide documentation:

• Medical Doctor (M.D.)
• Psychiatrist
• Licensed Psychologist
• Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.)
• Licensed Clinical Psychologist
  

Letters from nurse practitioners, counselors, or social workers cannot be accepted.

Graduate programs at Saint Peter’s University may follow different academic calendars. Check with your academic advisor or department to confirm your program structure.

You should submit your RCL request at least 2–3 weeks before the start of the semester or as soon as you become aware of the need. Do not drop below full-time until your request is officially approved.

All RCL requests must be submitted through the International Student Portal. Log in using your SPU credentials and select the “Reduced Course Load Request” form under Student Services.
