Applicants for admission into a full-time program (18 hours/week or more) must be at least 17 years of age. Selnate may deny admission to anyone, but will not discriminate based on age, sex, race, nationality, or physical handicap. Applications are accepted and processed on a first-come, first-served basis until all classes are filled.

Selnate will normally accept international students from any country, provided they possess one of the following (and, if applicable, the petition to change status is granted by the INS):

• Current F-1 or F-2 (student) Visa and current I-20
• Current B-1 or B-2 (tourist) Visa and current I-94
• Green card showing U.S. residency
• US citizenship

Due to INS regulations, Selnate cannot issue I-20s to applicants who have completed another ESL program or who have been in ESL programs for three years or more.

International students who have I-20s issued by Selnate may not be employed either on- or off-campus at any time without special INS authorization.

IMPORTANT! Current students attending school on Selnate-issued I-20s who leave the country for any reason and who intend to return to Selnate must have the back of their I-20s endorsed by an Selnate official before leaving the US.
