International Student Admissions

Any student who is not a citizen or Permanent Resident of the United States is classified as an international student. International students are non-immigrants to the United States and will be applying for a temporary U.S. Visa. The available student Visa is the F-1. Students enrolled in other universities on an F-1 Visa who wish to transfer to Virginia University of Lynchburg also fall into this category.

You are also considered international if you plan on studying strictly online from your home country; however, since you will not be entering the United States, you will not require an F-1 Visa or evidence of financial resources. International students studying online will still be required to provide transcript evaluations and TOEFL test scores if applicable.
