Elimination of D/S: Special Issues for Quarter System Schools

Join NAFSA colleagues from institutions on the quarter academic calendar system to discuss how the elimination of “duration of status” (D/S) is impacting their institutions and offices and how they are adapting their operations to address the changes. The presenters will not be able to answer every question about the D/S rule and address every complicated scenario resulting from the rule but will offer their own approaches to planning for implementation of the rule. It’s a conversation, so we also want to hear about your approach and successes and challenges. The focus is practical take-aways.
