2022-2023 Academic Year Guidance from SEVP
Contrary to what we sent as anticipated Fall 2022 Guidance on 4/1, NOTHING will be changing for the 2022-2023 Academic Year.
Academic Year 2022-23 Course Requirements
STARTING FALL 2022 TERM
- As stated in the March 2020 guidance, Active F and M students will be permitted to temporarily count online classes toward a full course of study in excess of the regulatory limits stated in 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(f)(6)(i)(G) and 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(m)(9)(v) for the 2022-23 academic year. The March 2020 guidance applies to continuing F and M nonimmigrant students.
What it means:
- Current F-1 students may again take a hybrid or fully online course schedule for Academic Year 2022-23
- NEW FALL 2022 F-1 students MUST take 1 face to face/flexible delivery class for Fall 2022

If you were registered for classes in Spring 2022, nothing has changed about your insurance coverage. You will continue to be covered for summer, unless you were approved for an insurance waiver. Students were billed in Spring 2022, so no additional payment is due for summer.
If you are a NEW student for Summer 2022, you will be charged $554 for the summer semester. This charge will be reflected on your student account.

Email Etiquette for Students | |
 | |
Emails are the most common form of communication used by professors. It is necessary that you write your emails professionally and communicate all the necessary information in one email.
Here are some tips to write an appropriate email:
- Use a clear subject line. Add the class name and section number in your subject line. For example - "ENG 2100-90 Assignment 1"
- Use your Wright State's email address
-
Begin your email with a salutation and use the appropriate titles for your professor. For Example- Write "Dear Professor John" instead of "Hey John".
- Make sure you use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation in your emails.
- Keep your email short and to the point.
- Utilize a professional tone. Avoid using negative or disrespectful tones like, "I can't believe you gave me an F on the test!"
- Avoid using internet language like lol, brb, etc. Do not use emojis unless appropriate!
- Re-read your emails to make sure that the tone and content are correct.
- End the email with a sign-off and your name. You can use something like - "Best", or "Thank You" and write your name.
- After sending your email, make sure you allow them enough time to respond to your emails. Depending on what days or times you sent your email, it can take them from 24-48 hours to respond to your email.

Two Social is not a sports bar but rather a gaming bar full of fun activities to get people talking.
The bar’s biggest draw is the series of axe-throwing cages, which take up almost the entire front half of the left wall when you enter the space. Visitors can order from the bar while they axe-throw as well.
