Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) Report
What is SEVIS?
The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is a U.S. government
internet-based system that tracks current information on non-immigrant students (F and M
visas), exchange visitors (J visa), and their dependents (F-2, M-2, and J-2). SEVIS allows
schools and program sponsors to transmit electronic information and event notifications via
the internet to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Department of
State (DOS) throughout the student’s/exchange visitor’s stay in the United States. SEVIS
reflects changes in international student or exchange visitor status, admission at the Port of
Entry (POE), changes of address, changes in program of study, employment
authorizations, and other events. Immigration forms I-20 (F visas) and DS-2019 (J visas)
are also issued through SEVIS.
The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) was responsible for maintaining
records in SEVIS for students, scholars, faculty, and dependents for the Fall 2014
semester that totals 5413.

Non-Immigrant Enrollment Country of Origin Profiles
Top 25 Ranked Countries of Origin at University of Houston
Profiles Summary
Pages (23-31) contain graphics which depict non-immigrant enrollment counts by country of
origin for the Fall 2014 semester at the University of Houston. Each area chart identifies the
total number of non-immigrants enrolled by field of study. Field of study designations were
determined based on the Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) Code associated with
the student's primary major for the Fall 2014 semester which may be under different UH
colleges. The chart further identifies the percentage of non-immigrant enrollment per field of
study by degree level. The three degree levels identified in the following charts are:
undergraduate, graduate, and special programs. Undergraduate counts include nonimmigrants classified as pursuing post-baccalaureate programs at University of Houston.
Special program counts are included in the graduate field, i.e. Optometry and Pharmacy.
Each country profile contains the total number of non-immigrants enrolled at UH from that
country for the Fall 2014 semester. The charts also contain the total number of nonimmigrants enrolled as well as the country's ranking at UH and nationally. The country of
origin rank is notated next to the country's name in each chart as indicated in the example
below:
Country Name (UH Non-Immigrant Enrollment Ranking/U.S. National Ranking)
Countries not nationally ranked in the top 25 countries of origin are indicated in the
charts with a dash (--) rather than ranking. National rankings are obtained from the
Open Doors 2014 Report published by Institute of International Education (IIE) for the
2013-2014 school year.*

F-1 Employment Statistics: Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Non-immigrant students on the F-1 visa have the option of pursuing a 12-month employment benefit, immediately
following completion of their degree program. The student must apply with the United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) for permission to work. The student is able to accept employment that is directly
related to her/his major area of study for a specified time period, upon approval. This time period is referred to as
Optional Practical Training (OPT). Students graduating from certain science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) disciplines designated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security may be eligible for an
additional 17-month extension for a combined 29 months of OPT. 809 F-1 alumni from 65 nations participated in
Optional Practical Training during Fall 2014.

Non-Immigrant OPT Distribution by CIP Code: Fall 2014
The Classifications of Instructional Programs(CIP) is used at higher educational institutions to designate a
degree that a student studies at a particular university. This code is also used for matching the degree at the
University of Houston to the form I-20 in which an F-1 student's degree plan is coded in SEVIS. If a student is
eligible for a STEM Extension, their code has to match the STEM list, which is kept updated by the Immigration
and Customs Enforcement(ICE). Any reporting of data that ISSS does to the Institute of International
Education's Open Door report, classifies students using the CIP code as well.
CIP Code Classification
Business Management (CIP Codes: 6-8,52)
Education (CIP Code: 13)
Engineering (CIP Codes: 14,15,29,46-49)
Fine/Applied Arts (CIP Codes: 4,21,50)

Language and Culture Center Enrollment: Fall 2014
The Language and Culture Center (LCC) is located on the University of Houston campus and provides
students the ability to experience life at an American university while learning English as a Second Language
(ESL) through a variety of courses designed to integrate them into the American educational system. LCC has
provided intensive English Instruction for international students on the University of Houston campus since
1975. LCC students may apply for admission to UH upon successful completion of the sixth and final level and
passing TOEFL scores. Students enrolled in LCC programs are not enrolled in degree-seeking courses at UH
and are therefore not included in the international student enrollment figures indicated earlier in this report.
During Fall 2014, international students from 36 nations participated in LCC programs.
