Palo Alto University prides itself on providing a welcome environment to students from all over the world. International students will feel welcome in the diverse San Francisco Bay Area culture. International Student Services provides assistance in the areas of housing, living in the United States, as well as F-1 immigration regulations and F-1 employment.

Most but not all non-immigrant visa categories allow full time study in academic programs. If you are uncertain about the regulations of your immigration status, please contact the International Student Specialist. F-1 international student applicants applying to doctoral and undergraduate programs, please review Admissions Requirements for F-1 Students

Ineligible Applicants
