An education for a global society.
Our university welcomes international applicants from many countries around the world. You are not required to enter the U.S. to attend our online university, therefore we do not issue I-20 or DS-2019 forms for the F-1 or J-1 student visas*.
Please read all the information on this page and keep in mind that all documents submitted to the university, including transcripts, must be in English. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
Admission Requirements

- If you have non-US transcripts, and you need to submit them for admission or for transfer credit, you will need to have them evaluated for U.S. equivalency by a university-approved agency. You can choose to submit a TCE to earn possible transfer credit if you have your transcripts evaluated. Learn more about equivalency evaluations.
- If you have a non-US high school credential, you will be asked to submit an international evaluation of your credential showing it is equivalent of a U.S. high school diploma. Military and Veteran’s are exempt from this requirement.
