This RCL may be used only during the student's initial semester of enrollment at the education level. To be eligible, the student must be experiencing difficulties due to:

• initial difficulty with the English language
• initial difficulty with reading requirements
• unfamiliarity with U.S. teaching methods, or
• improper course level placement

Failure to attend class meetings and submit work are not qualifying reasons to be eligible for an RCL for initial difficulties, even if they are due to homesickness or culture shock.

This RCL may be used at any time during the student's program of study. To be eligible, the student must provide medical documentation from a licensed medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy, or licensed clinical psychologist, to substantiate the illness or medical condition. This type of RCL is authorized one semester at a time, but it can be reauthorized if required. However, an RCL for temporary illness or medical condition may not exceed 12 months in total.

Please note that 海角社区 Health Services and 海角社区 Student Counseling Services cannot provide documentation for this type of RCL as no one on staff has the listed medical credentials.

This RCL may be used only in the final semester of student's program of study. To be eligible, the student must be able to demonstate that fewer courses than full-course load are needed to complete the course of study. This type of RCL does not allow a student to be fully online or mostly online in the final semester.

Per regulations, "if the student is not required to take any additional courses to satisfy the requirements for completion, but continues to be enrolled for administrative purposes, the student is considered to have completed the course of study and must take action to maintain status. Such action may include application for change of status or departure from the U.S." ()
