person. An individual whose principal obligation to the school is to recruit foreign students for compensation may not be a DSO. The president,
owner, or head of a school system must designate a principal DSO. The principal DSO is required to have a thorough knowledge of the regulations,
policies and procedures governing nonimmigrant students, and is responsible for ensuring that each additional DSO has a thorough knowledge of the
same.
Each school or institution must have one principal DSO, and may have up to ten DSO's at any one time, except at the discretion of the district director
of the INS office having jurisdiction over the school. In a multi-campus institution, each campus must have a principal DSO. In an elementary or
secondary school system, however, the entire school system is limited to a total often designated officials at any one time.
I, THE UNDERSIGNED, have read the Immigration and Naturalization Service's regulations relating to nonimmigrant students, namely 8 CFR
214.1,8 CFR 214.2(f), and/or 8 CFR 214.2(m); the Service's regulations relating to change of nonimmigrant classification for students, namely 8 CFR
248; the Service's regulations relating to school approval and withdrawal of school approval, namely 8 CFR 214.3 and 214.4, and intend to comply
with these regulations at all times.
