The Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service), consistent with its statutory authority to regulate foreign students under sections 101(a)(15)(F) and (M) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act), will be conducting a review of all Service-approved schools, as a prerequisite for enrollment in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). This interim rule will allow eligible schools to preliminarily enroll in SEVIS, beginning on July 1, 2002, provided they meet the established criteria. Eligibility for preliminary enrollment in SEVIS will continue through August 16, 2002. By that date, the Service anticipates publishing a new interim certification rule. When the forthcoming interim certification rule takes effect, the preliminary enrollment period will end and all schools will be required to apply for certification prior to enrollment in SEVIS in accordance with the requirements of that rule.
