It is the responsibility of the Visiting Student to ensure that registering for courses at Rice University does not negatively impact their U.S. immigration status.
Courses offered during Summer Sessions are subject to cancellation due to low enrollment. If any of the courses that you are registered for are cancelled, tuition and fees will be refunded, with the exception of the nonrefundable application fee.
