L2 to F1

[GM23]

Hi,

I am currently in the US on a L2 Visa. I am now considering joining a university for a course and wanted to know if
a) it is necessary for me to change to a F1 or if I can study on a L2 itself
b) is it possible to transfer to a F1 in the middle of the course if I need to for some reason?


Thanks

2)Yes
