In compliance with federal laws and regulations, the Bonneville Joint School District No.
93 Board of Trustees places the following restrictions on foreign students in F -1
immigration status:
• Must be in full compliance with the regulations of the Student Exchange and visitor
Information System (SEVIS) of the Department of Homeland Security.
• Prohibits their attendance in public elementary schools (grades K through 8) or
publicly funded /adult education programs;
• Limits their attendance in public secondary schools (grades 9 through 12) to a
maximum of 12 months; and
• Requires them to re -pay the District for the full, unsubsidized per capita cost of
education for the intended period of study.
Guidelines
1. Foreign students requesting enrollment through an 1 -20 must pay tuition for each
month of attendance before the 1 -20 is issued.
2. The Board shall not grant waivers.
3. This policy does not affect foreign students in any other immigration status.
a. exchange students (who hold J -1 status),
b. F -2 students (dependents of F -1 students), or
c. students whose parents are here as diplomats, researchers or foreign workers.
DEFINITION
1 -20 Foreign Student: is certification that a student:
1) is or is expected to be a student,
2) meets any admissions requirements,
3) will pursue a full course of study, and
4) is proven to have enough money to study and live in the U.S. without working
illegally or suffering from poverty (pays tuition in advance).
Once the 1 -20 is granted, students receive F -1 status which allows them to remain in the
U.S. as long as they are registered students.
