F-1 Regulatory Update

We’re sharing an important update for our F-1 international students.
On September 14, 2026, a nationwide preliminary injunction was issued, postponing implementation of the new rule regarding the elimination of Duration of Status and academic restrictions.

What does this mean for F-1 students?
🔹 No part of the new rule is currently in effect.
🔹 Your F-1 status remains unchanged until further court orders.
🔹 Recent SEVP guidance regarding Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is separate and remains in effect.

We know immigration updates can raise questions and concerns. Lawrence Technological University International Programs Office will continue to monitor developments and share updates as more information becomes available.

📌 Save this post and follow us for future updates.

Meet Jordan Getachew from Ethiopia, a Mechanical Engineering junior at LTU! Jordan chose Lawrence Tech because of its hands-on approach to engineering and the opportunity to gain real-world experience in the classroom. For the past three years, he has been actively involved with Blue Devil Motorsports and the LTU Formula team, helping build and work on the Formula car. One of his favorite parts of the experience has been solving problems, collaborating with new teammates each year, and getting the chance to drive the Formula car. Outside of campus activities, Jordan enjoys spending his free time working on cars, learning more about mechanical systems, doing car maintenance as a hobby, and exploring Downtown Detroit with friends. His passion for engineering and teamwork truly reflects the spirit of LTU innovation and student involvement.
