Hello,
I am on F1. I had an approved reduced course load in Fall 2014 and Spring 2015. I am now back to being full-time for Fall 2015. The reason why I had reduced course is because I had completed my coursework for my Master's and had a change of professors for my thesis. In both cases my reduced course load was approved by my DSO.
My question is: I will graduate end of Fall 2015 and I would like to apply for my OPT. I saw however that the OPT requirement is to be full-time for the one full academic year. Will my reduced course load impact my OPT eligibility?
