• An international student is defined as any student in the United States on a VISA (i.e. F-1, J-1, Tourist, etc.). An individual who has a permanent resident status (card) follows the admissions procedure outlined for a U.S. citizen.
• Any prospective student who was born outside of the US will need to provide documentation of current status before enrollment.
