U.S. Permanent Residents
Applicants who are currently United States permanent residents must meet all the stated admissions requirements and follow the same application procedures as U.S. citizens; however, permanent residents must also submit a high-quality, color copy of the front and back of their valid U.S. Permanent Resident Card. The Admissions Office will not process the application without this component.
All permanent residents and some other eligible non-citizens can apply for federal need-based financial aid programs. Applicants for traditional undergraduate programs are also automatically considered for merit-based scholarship when they meet the stated merit-based scholarship deadlines.
F-1 Visa Students
Students seeking an F-1 visa are not eligible for the online undergraduate programs.

- If the student attended a school or schools at the secondary or post-secondary level at which English was not the official medium of instruction: submit results of one of the following English proficiency tests. Required scores are as follows:

Transcripts from non-English foreign high school/secondary institutions and from post-secondary institutions outside of the United States must be submitted to an international credentials evaluation service that is a current member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) for a course-by-course evaluation including GPA. A member list is available on the NACES website.
