APPLICATION TYPES:
An international student is a person who requires an F-1 visa to study in the United States. All international students will complete either a first year or transfer application. There is no separate international application.
- First year students or freshman are those still in high school or have completed high school but have not attended college after high school.
- Transfer students are anyone who, after high school graduation, has enrolled in university-level courses either in the US or another country.
When completing the application, your citizenship as well as your intended visa (and if applicable current visa) will identify you as an international student.
International students are students who:
- Wish to study in the US under a student (F-1) visa. Those with valid B-1 or B-2 visas, must change their status to F-1, or:
