of State extends the waiver and
modification of certain regulatory
requirements with respect to a
temporary educational and cultural
exchange program established pursuant
to an arrangement between the
Government of the United States and
the Government of Ukraine. Under the
original arrangement for Special Student
Relief, eligible Ukrainian college and
university students on J–1 visas who
have continuously resided in the United
States since April 11, 2022, could carry
lighter course loads and work full- or
part- time, on or off campus until
October 23, 2023. Under the modified
and extended arrangement, eligible
Ukrainian college and university
students on J–1 visas who have
continuously resided in the United
States since August 16, 2023, may carry
lighter course loads and work full- or
part-time, on or off campus until April
19, 2025. This arrangement was
established to ameliorate these students’
financial and other hardships due to the
Russian invasion of Ukraine.
DATES: The extension and modification
of SSR was effective on October 20,
2023 and will now remain in effect until
April 19, 2025, unless the U.S.
Government unilaterally ends the
arrangement early or the U.S.
Government and the Government of
Ukraine together extend its termination
date.

and meet the reduced course load
requirements set forth in the Notice at
88 FR 20202. To authorize on-campus or
