International Applicants
Due to federal regulations pertaining to distance education and international students with an F-1 visa the program can no longer admit such students. The regulation is 8 CFR 214.2(f)(6)(i)(G) and reads as follows:
(G) For F-1 students
enrolled in classes for credit or classroom
hours, no more than the equivalent of one
class or three credits per session, term,
semester, trimester, or quarter may be counted
toward the full course of study requirement if
the class is taken on-line or through distance
education and does
not require the student's physical attendance
for classes, examination or other purposes
integral to completion of the class. An on-line
or distance education course is a course that is
offered principally through the use of
television, audio, or computer transmission
including open broadcast, closed circuit, cable,
microwave, or satellite, audio conferencing, or
computer conferencing. If the F-1 student's
course of study is in a language study program,
no on-line or distance education classes may be
considered to count toward a student's full
course of study requirement.
