My prospective student is NOT F-1 or J-1. What rules apply to them about studying at Pacific?
Applicants with dual U.S./other country citizenship, permanent residents, and persons with asylum or refugee status are allowed to study at any school or educational level in the U.S., and in many cases they are eligible for federal financial aid. They can be treated just like domestic applicants for admissions purposes. Prospective students with a non-immigrant visa type other than F-1 or J-1 may be totally restricted from studying in the US, or they may be eligible to study full-time, part-time or recreationally. Please check with the Office of International Programs for more information if you have a case you are unsure about.
