SEVP Seeks Stakeholder Feedback on Draft Guidance
The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is seeking public comment on draft policy guidance on conditional admission. SEVP values feedback from the public and seeks their input to ensure SEVP policies consider all relevant information.
Conditional Admission
The conditional admission draft policy guidance addresses the practice when a school issues the Form I-20, “Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status,” to a student for admission to a program without the student meeting all admission standards. The purpose of this draft guidance is to clarify SEVP regulations and ensure uniformity of interpretation. This policy guidance is the first in a series of draft policy guidance documents that discuss pathway programs and conditional admission issues. SEVP intends to publish additional guidance documents on these topics in the near future.
