ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ

Each of ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ’s International Students, healthcare and nursing programs has unique admission requirements. Prospective students interested in completing an associate’s or bachelor’s degree at ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ should review the application steps for their specific program of interest.

The University welcomes applications from all international students. ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ (ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ) is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant students with an F1 Student Visa. The term “International Student” refers to any student who is not a permanent resident or naturalized citizen of the United States.

ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ requires a course-to-course evaluation that lists all subjects/courses completed at the post-secondary level, a U.S. semester credit and grade equivalent for each course, a U.S. grade point average (GPA), the level of undergraduate courses designated as lower or upper division, and the degree awarded with the title and date conferred. Below is a list of approved evaluation services:

Prospective students who currently have a visa other than an F-1 should consult the Office of Enrollment to discuss their immigration status. Each visa category has restrictions on whether or not the visa holder can enroll at a university. Prospective students who have visas, passports or other immigration documents that are expired may need to seek services of an immigration attorney. ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵ does not provide legal advice on immigration matters.
