Admission of Foreign Students


Foreign students should direct their inquiries to the campus they plan to attend. Generally, they
are not admitted without a personal interview. University personnel will interview applicants in
nearby countries where the number of applicants justifies the expense. If this arrangement is
not justified, applicants are required to come to Puerto Rico on a tourist visa for an interview at
their own expense. If an interview is necessary for distance learning students studying outside
Puerto Rico, the interview may be conducted through means available to the student. The
interview will be supervised by a proctor from the student’s locality, as determined by the
University. If the applicants are approved for admission, the Admissions Office fills out the I-20
Form A from the Immigration and Naturalization Service which enables them to obtain student
visas. This Form will not be filled out for students admitted to study outside Puerto Rico through
one of the distance learning modalities. Please, contact The Office of Foreign Relations at Metro
 Campus
