EMBAC Membership

Greetings from the College of Charleston. I enjoyed seeing everyone at the conference, and should have probably asked this question to my US colleagues in person.

How do your EMBA programs handle the enrollment of international students, particularly in relation to maintaining compliance with immigration regulations, given that the programs are often modular or term-based? Specifically, how do you navigate the challenge of issuing immigration documents (such as I-20s or DS-2019s) for each term or residency without triggering visa complications?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

Ronald,

We are not able to provide student visas for our EMBA program. I know that some have found a way to do so. Our EMBA program meets every other weekend on campus, and our OISS office classifies it as a part-time program; as such, visas are not permitted. 

I look forward to hearing how others have found a way to make this work.
