… she would like to take classes in a graduate program at my school. Is she allowed to enroll in an academic program of study?

Answer

Effective May 29, 2015, F-1 and M-1 student dependent family members in F-2 and M-2 statuses are eligible to enroll in any course of study leading to a degree or certificate at any SEVP-certified school as long as they engage in less than full-time study. This rule does not change the prohibition against M-2 and F-2 dependents engaging in employment in the U.S. (01.May.2015)
