Courses without physical attendance requirements that have specific rules F and M students must follow. If an online or distance course has no physical attendance requirements, F students (besides those in English language programs) may count one course towards their full course of study. F students in English language programs and M students may not count any online or distance courses towards their full course of study.
Glossary
Use the Study in the States glossary to define key terms throughout the F and M student process in the United States. If you are a current or prospective student, select “students” to see terms that specifically relate to you—from visas, to forms, benefits, and more. School officials should select “schools” to find more information on certification, responsibilities, and how to help their F and M students. You can also sort terms by selecting the letter of the alphabet a term begins with.
