Note:<\/strong> A visa is not needed for non-matriculated international students studying remotely from their home country (or outside the U.S. in general).<\/p>\n\n\n\nNon-degree international applications must present proof of visa status to be eligible to enroll in credit-bearing courses. For example an F-1, J-1 or H-4 visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dependents in H-4 visa status may study or take courses; however, if they choose to study full-time, they should consider changing to F-1 visa student status to obtain approved, on-campus work authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Department of Homeland Security regulations prohibit F-2 visa holders from engaging in full-time study. F-2 visa holders may only engage in full-time study at an elementary or secondary (K-12) institution. F-2 visa holders can continue to take classes for recreational, bobby or cultural purposes without applying for a change in status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please know that all applicants in the country on refugee status or a visa will be required to provide a copy of the necessary documentation or visa prior to the start of classes. Misrepresentation concerning residency and\/or citizenship is grounds for immediate dismissal from the college, but you will remain liable for all tuition and fees.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The University is pleased to provide educational opportunities to a diverse student population.
