INFORMATION FOR J-1 EXCHANGE VISITORS

Attending Classes

If you are a J-1 Professor or Research Scholar, you may enroll in classes so long as:

• The classes are incidental to your primary activity.



• You continue to pursue the objectives for which you came, as stated on your DS-2019.



• Your program continues to fulfill the objectives of the professor or research scholar category.



• If enrollment in classes or a degree program becomes your primary objective, J-1 status as a professor or scholar is no longer appropriate and you may be required to apply for a change of status. In rare cases, a J-1 change of category may be appropriate.

Washington University’s English Language Program (ELP) offers courses on both the Danforth and Medical School campuses. For information, please visit the ELP website.
