Question about taking a semester off

[zcllzzx]

Hi thank you for reading this. I’m an international student and currently studying agriculture in U of M. I lucky got accepted to law school for Fall 2021 so I’ve decided to drop all of my courses and take a semester off (Winter 2021). Will this affect my future PGWP application after I graduate from law school? And will I still be allowed to work full time in Summer 2021? I would rly appreciate it if someone could help me out. Thanks again!

As far as I know, to be eligible for PGWP, you will need to have enrolled in a minimum of 8-months-long of full-time continuous study.

And will I still be allowed to work full time in Summer 2021?

Thanks for your reply! The JD program will be 3 years, and will my break this semester matter for it to be considered as a continuous study?

You are welcome. And no. I think a break in the middle would reset your counted time.
