Student & 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 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and 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 Office (ISSSO) was responsible for
maintaining records for 4977 F and J visa students, scholars, and their dependents for the
Fall 2011 semester.

Non-Immigrant Enrollment Country of Origin Profiles
Top 20 Ranked Countries of Origin at University of Houston
Profiles Summary
The following pages (23-31) contain graphics which depict non-immigrant enrollment counts
by country of origin for the Fall 2011 semester at 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 2011 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 non-immigrants classified as pursuing post-baccalaureate programs at
University of Houston. Special program counts include non-immigrants pursuing degrees at
UH in our professional programs: Architecture, Law, Optometry, and Pharmacy. Each
country profile contains the total number of non-immigrants enrolled at UH from that country
for the Fall 2011 semester. The charts also contain the total number of non-immigrants
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 2010 Report published by Institute of International Education (IIE) for the 2010-2011
school year.

F-1 Employment Statistics: Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Immediately following completion of their degree, most non-immigrant students on the F-1 visa have the option
of pursuing a 12-month employment benefit. The student must apply with the United States Citizenship &
Immigration Services (USCIS) to request permission to work. Upon approval, the student is authorized to accept
employment inside the United States that is directly related to her/his major area of study for a specified time
period. 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 Department of
Homeland Security may be eligible for an additional 17-month, once-in-a-lifetime, employment benefit after
completing OPT. This employment benefit is referred to as a STEM Extension. 1064 F-1 alumni from 80
different nations participated in Optional Practical Training during 2011.

Language & Culture Center Enrollment: Fall 2011
The Language and Culture Center (LCC) located on the University of Houston campus provides a unique
setting in which international students can experience life at an American university, make new friends, and
learn English as a Second Language (ESL) through a variety of courses designed to help them master
language skills. Services are provided to these students by LCC staff. Since 1975, LCC has provided
intensive English Instruction for international students who want to study at universities in the United States
or improve their English language skills to meet personal and professional goals. LCC students may
substitute successful completion of level six at LCC in lieu of TOEFL scores when applying for admission to
UH. 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 2011,
international students from 45 nations participated in LCC programs.
