Title: Adjustments to Limitations on Designated School Official Assignment and Study By F-2 and M-2 Nonimmigrants 
Abstract:

This final rule will revise 8 CFR parts 214.2 and 214.3. As proposed, it would provide additional flexibility to schools in determining the number of designated school officials (DSOs) to nominate for the oversight of the school's campuses where F-1 and M-1 nonimmigrant students are enrolled. Current regulation limits the number of DSOs to 10 per school, or 10 per campus in a multi-campus school. Second, the rule will permit F-2 and M-2 spouses and children accompanying academic and vocational nonimmigrant students with F-1 or M-1 nonimmigrant status to enroll in study at an SEVP-certified school so long as any study remains less than a full course of study.
