Program Description:
This application is only for those wanting to take online only classes from outside the US without receiving an I-20 or F-1 international student visa. Citrus College does not offer any fully online programs of study, so no Associate Degrees or Certificates can be obtained through this application. This application is also limited to one short term and one semester only: either one Winter Term & Spring Semester or one Summer Term and Fall Semester. Additionally, there is a 6 unit maximum limit per term/semester for online only students.

Should you desire to attend in person classes on campus in the future, you must submit an ISC Portal application for an initial I-20 to then request your F-1 Visa to be allowed to enter the US in the future as an international student. 

Warning: Do not travel inside the US, even if you have a B travel visa, while you are actively taking classes at Citrus College online from outside the US without an active I-20 and F-1 Visa, as it is illegal to study at the collegiate level inside the US while inside the US on a B travel visa. This could seriously compromise any future attempt you might make in requesting a visa in the future. The ISC will periodically use your passport to check your I-94 US entry and exit report throughout each semester and term to make sure you are not inside the US while taking advantage of this online only option.
