International Students

International students are required by law to financially support all expenses associated with studying in the United States. You are classified as an international student if you hold citizenship in a country other than the United States and/or possess a temporary visa.

Some international students are on a ‘pre-pay’ status, you must pay tuition and fees prior to registration.

Non-resident Aliens

A Non-resident Alien is a person who is not a citizen or national of the United States, who is in this country on a temporary basis, and who does not have the right to remain indefinitely. Please refer to the International Exception Payment Policy form. By signing this form and adhering to its terms and conditions, non-resident aliens may register for courses at any time.

Permanent Residents or Resident Aliens

A Permanent Resident or Resident Alien is not a citizen or national of the United States, but has been lawfully admitted for permanent residency (and holds an alien registration receipt card). Permanent residents do not need to complete the International Exception form mentioned above. These types of students are eligible for the regular payment options offered. Please see Payment Options links for more information.
