Australia will no longer let international students enroll in two courses concurrently during the first six months of their principal course of study. This change in rule is intended to crack down on 'dodgy' education providers that have been misusing the concurrent enrollment policy to encourage students to switch institutions. The government says that the new rules will help to ensure the integrity of the international education sector and protect students from exploitation. The new rules do not impact students who are already holding concurrent enrolments. However, students looking to enroll in a second course concurrently after the first six months of their principal course of study will need to obtain approval from their education provider. There are a few exceptions. «For example, students will still be able to enroll concurrently in a course that is an approved component of a combined or double degree. Additionally, students who have a valid reason for needing to enroll concurrently, such as extenuating circumstances, may be able to obtain an exemption from the rules,» Saurabh Arora, CEO and Founder, University Living, explains.

international STEM students in the United States, the Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal challenging the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. The OPT program, which permits international students in the United States on student visas to work during their studies or up to one year post-graduation, has been a crucial pathway for international students seeking employment opportunities in the country. At the heart of the case was the extension of the OPT program for up to 36 months after graduation, a provision introduced by the Department of Homeland Security in 2008 and modified in 2016. This extension was exclusively available to students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) fields, making it especially attractive to tech companies. The Washington Alliance of Technology Workers (Washtech), a Communication Workers of America affiliate, initiated the legal challenge against this extension in 2014, arguing that it allowed tech employers to sidestep the H-1B visa program, which has limited annual quotas and is assigned through a lottery system. The STEM OPT extension not only simplifies the hiring process for tech employers but also enables visa holders to apply for a green card during their stay in the US, offering a pathway to permanent residency similar to H-1B visa holders. Throughout the legal battle, Washtech faced several setbacks, including a critical decision by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals in 2022. The union's argument questioned the Department of Homeland Security's authority to establish the OPT STEM extension, contending that it reshaped the entire non-immigrant visa system and undermined protections for American workers.
