Who is a U.S. Student?

UCLA is home to world-class academic and research programs, and its resources include extensive libraries, athletic facilities, and cultural events.

Working professionals, as well as students attending a university or community college, can participate in UCLA Summer Sessions in two ways:

• Individual UCLA Academic Courses; or
• Specialized Summer Institutes

If you can answer yes to any of the questions below, you are considered a U.S. student for our registration purposes:

• Are you a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, i.e., a Green Card holder?
• Are you an international student currently studying in the US and returning to the same school after the summer?
  If you currently hold an F-1 visa and I-20 at another U.S. school AND plan to continue your studies at that school, you won't need to obtain an additional F-1 visa to attend UCLA Summer Sessions. There are no unit requirements and you won't be required to complete the I-20 request form or upload any documents.
