The US government has issued a warning to international students, including those from Nigeria, about the potential consequences of skipping classes or leaving their programs without notice. Students who drop out, skip classes, or leave their program of study without informing their school risk losing their student visa and eligibility for future US visas. If international students fail to adhere to their visa terms, they may face immediate visa cancellation, which can lead to disqualification from applying for future US visas. Furthermore, remaining in the US beyond the authorized period of stay can result in deportation and a permanent ban on traveling to the US.

To avoid these issues, international students are advised to attend classes regularly and maintain normal academic progress. If students need to drop a class or request a program extension, they should notify their school's designated student officer (DSO). Adhering to the terms of their visa is crucial to maintaining their student status and avoiding potential problems. By following these guidelines, international students can ensure a smooth and successful academic experience in the US.
