International applicants are those non-citizens or non-permanent residents of the United States who hold visas that are eligible for post-secondary studies or who have documented and verified lawful presence in the country. Tri-County does not issue Form I-20s for F-1 Student visas. The College does allow international students who hold valid F-1 Student visas issued from other institutions to apply as transient students. Eligible international applicants must meet all admission requirements and must maintain visa status and immigration documents in the manner required by the Department of Homeland Security. Any international student who does not maintain the appropriate status will be withdrawn from the College.
