Why did you take only 9 credits when 12 credits are required to be in status? Did you drop one class or you just registered for 9 credits?

Now, yes you do have to take a class in summer to be in status. If not, you will be out-of-status and have to apply for re-instatement with a penalty of roughly 400 USD within six months of your SEVIS termination. Of 9 credits during spring, were any online class? If not, you could take an online class for 3 credits during the summer, but you have to talk to your advisor.

Good luck !
