Enrollment Terminated, Degree Candidacy Continued (ETDCC)
ETDCC is a Princeton status conferred by
the Graduate School to Ph.D. students who come
to the end of their regular period
of enrollment and support in their degree program (either four or five
years). ETDCC is NOT an immigration status. ETDCC students are not
enrolled students and, therefore, can not extend their J-1 immigration
status unless they apply for Academic Training (AT).

for AT instructions and
forms.
Students in ETDCC status may be
eligible for certain Princeton University benefits that help them make the
transition from enrolled to unenrolled status.
For further information about ETDCC
status, please refer to the Graduate School
website or contact the
Graduate School.
Impact of ETDCC on J-1
student status
If you are an J-1 student in
ETDCC status and you do not apply for AT (see above), because your
enrollment has terminated, you would need to:
■
leave the U.S. within 30 days of the end of your DS-2019, OR
■
change to another immigration status (B2 tourist, J-1 exchange visitor, H1B
temporary worker, etc.) based on your individual situation.
