# University international-office pages: the fixed-period-of-admission rule (91 FR 44976) after the Sept 14, 2026 court postponement

Audit run: 2026-09-27, live fetches from 2026-09-27T18:23:19+00:00 to 2026-09-27T20:40:14+00:00 (UTC). Companion to `audits/gov-pages-2026-09/RESULTS.md`, same classification standard.

**Test applied.** A page is WRONG-NOW only if a reader today would come away believing the postponed provisions (fixed admission period / Admit Until Date, 4-year maximum, 30-day departure period, 30-day OPT filing cutoff, I-539 extension of stay) are in force — i.e., it states them as current, or states that the rule took/takes effect Sept 15, 2026, with no mention of the postponement anywhere on the page. Confidence **high** = present- or past-tense ("students now have 30 days", "effective September 15, 2026, ...", "DHS has replaced D/S"); **medium** = future tense when written ("will take effect on September 15, 2026", "beginning September 15, 2026 students will receive an Admit Until Date") — accurate the day it was posted, a past date with no note today. Class (c) (mentions the rule as published/proposed/pending, or only links to a rule page) is **not** counted as wrong. A page counts as noting the postponement when any sentence about the rule on it says the rule was postponed, paused, blocked, enjoined, put on hold, halted or delayed by the court, or will not take effect Sept 15 (a headline or banner counts). Pre-order litigation news ("a lawsuit was filed", "if the motion is granted", "litigation is expected") does **not** count as a note.

**Coverage.** All 889 target schools were attempted: 883 crawled, 6 skipped because their host blocks scripted fetches. 800 schools had at least one office page read; 83 had none readable. The first run (2026-09-27 ~18:23–18:40 UTC) lost DNS at 18:39 UTC; the 171 schools touched by the outage were purged from the log and re-crawled 20:36–20:40 UTC, so every school's pages come from a run with working DNS.

## Method and limits

- **Targets.** Only schools whose international-office site the CPT tracker already knew (a CPT page in `tracker/pages.json` or a lead in `tracker/leads.json`). For each, the office base was derived from that URL (dedicated host root, or the shared host's office path), then the known page(s), the base(s), on-site links whose anchor text or URL mention the rule (duration of status, fixed period/time, final rule, Sept. 15, admit until, extension of stay, 30-day, grace period), a plain news/updates section, and the common paths `/duration-of-status /immigration-updates /final-rule /fixed-period /news /updates /announcements /alerts /faq`, capped at 15 fetches per school. A rule page that is not linked from those pages, or is more than one hop from them, was not found; "no discoverable rule page" means within that budget, not that the school has none.
- **Politeness.** One request per 1.5 s per host, descriptive User-Agent naming the audit, 15 s timeout, one retry on network errors/5xx only. Status counts: {202: 3, 200: 4459, 404: 5772, 0: 64, 403: 141, 429: 6, 308: 13, 300: 2, 302: 11, 405: 16, 410: 1, 307: 23, 401: 4}.
- **Blocked / login.** Hosts that answered 403/0/202 twice were dropped for the rest of that school (80 hosts: behrend.psu.edu, beloit.edu, blc.edu, davisic.princeton.edu, elgin.edu, global.upenn.edu, global.utsa.edu, globalengagement.web.baylor.edu, international.twu.edu, internationalservices.ut.edu, iss.okstate.edu, iss.ucmerced.edu, iss.williams.edu, issp.virginia.edu, isss.unc.edu, isss.wvu.edu, marymount.edu, morris.umn.edu, my.iss.denison.edu, necmusic.edu, offices.mtholyoke.edu, ois.uic.edu, semo.edu, spu.edu, swbts.edu, umdearborn.edu, www.abington.psu.edu, www.american.edu, www.bellevuecollege.edu, www.belmont.edu, www.beloit.edu, www.bmcc.cuny.edu, www.brandeis.edu, www.bsu.edu, www.ccny.cuny.edu, www.ccp.edu, www.ccsf.edu, www.columbusstate.edu, www.cumberland.edu, www.cwu.edu ...). 26 fetches redirected to a login/SSO page. Five hosts known to block the CPT crawler were skipped up front (six schools).
- **PDFs skipped.** Stdlib only, so no PDF text extraction; 37 rule-keyword links to PDFs/Office files were seen and not fetched (a school whose only rule notice is a PDF is invisible here).
- **Classification is rule-based** (regular expressions over the extracted text, see `03_classify.py`), (`auto_cls` in results.json keeps the machine verdict where a hand correction was made). The machine verdict was then checked by hand: for every (a) page the quoted sentences and every court/postponement word on the page were read in context, and every distinct postponement note (b-note) was read. Corrections are in `overrides.json`. A banner, headline or related-post link naming the injunction counts as a note, so (b-note) is generous and (a) conservative.
- **Redirect collapsing** is per school and by final URL; the same page reached by two URLs on one site is counted once (scheme, www, trailing slash and index files ignored). Where the tracker lists one office site for several schools (system campuses, shared offices), each page is counted once, under the school with the largest international enrollment; `also_listed_for` in results.json names the others. Newsletters/emails archived on the office site count as pages.
- **Not covered.** Schools with no known office URL in the tracker; school pages outside the international office (registrar, graduate school); pages behind logins; PDFs; anything only emailed to students.
