If not applying for an F1 visa, please submit the standard application for admission.  In addition to standard application procedures, all international citizens are required to submit proof of their immigration status at the time of application.  Photocopied credentials are not acceptable.  Students without the appropriate documentation of immigration status may be admitted, but will be charged the out-of-state tuition rate.  Students in the United States on B1 or B2 visas are generally not permitted to enroll in credit coursework.
