Information on nonimmigrant visa statuses who can study while in the United States can be found in Nonimmigrants: Who Can Study?.
IMPORTANT: Applicants who are currently in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Status or with a Nonimmigrant Visa Status will need to apply using the International (Non-U.S. Citizen) First-Year or Transfer application.
