Northeastern’s College of Professional Studies (CPS) has announced that beginning in Fall 2026, all graduate programs, graduate certificates, and doctoral degrees will transition to a semester-based academic calendar. We understand that prospective and current F-1/J-1 students may have questions about how this may impact their nonimmigrant student status. The Office of Global Services (OGS) has prepared a number of frequently asked questions (FAQs) to assist students as they learn more about this transition.
