International Students
Any applicant who is not a citizen of the United States and who does not qualify as a legal resident or resident allowed by Congress to adopt the United States as his/her domicile while at Laredo College must meet the admissions requirements for International students. Compliance with all additional requirements, procedures, and restrictions established for the student visa category by the United States Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) is required for enrollment. Students may apply for an F-1 VISA or an M-1 VISA; Students who are under an F-1 VISA are in an academic program, often with a core academic curriculum and can change their major or program of study. Students who are under an M-1 VISA are in a vocational program, typically without a core academic curriculum and cannot change their major or program of study.
