15. I have an F-2 visa. May I take courses at the University of Pittsburgh?

a.

In general, the answer is “No.” According to federal law, someone in F-2 status may not take courses unless the course(s) is deemed to be “avocational” or “recreational.” This generally means that the courses may not be part of a degree program or otherwise to meet requirements for awarded of any educational credential. This is a complex issue and may require review by an Immigration Specialist in OIS.
