How to Apply
海角社区 University welcomes and hosts students from around the world. An international student refers to anyone who requires a visa or temporary visa (F-1, J-1, A2, E2, etc.) in order to study in the United States. If you are a U.S. citizen or a lawful U.S. permanent resident (green card holder), or if you are a dual citizen, refugee, asylee, or undocumented student/DACA, you are not considered an international student.
International students are encouraged to start the application process at least six months in advance. Please check the admission requirements for international undergraduate students and international graduate students.
