Placement and Exit Tests
American Citizens and Permanent Residents
All USA citizens and legal permanent residents do not have study restrictions based on federal immigration law. These students are, therefore, able to enroll and study in any program for which they wish. These students must still abide by all school policies, rules and terms and conditions.
Foreign Nationals in the United States
Non-immigrants persons who come to the U.S. for a temporary stay to accomplish a specific objective and then return home are called Foreign Nationals. F-1 Student is the classification assigned to non-immigrants coming to the United States to earn a certificate, degree, or professional qualification at a U.S. college or university, including students of English as a second language (ESL).
Any student who is a foreign national studying in the USA is responsible for maintaining his/her F-1 Status, and any student failing this requirement cannot transfer from one U.S. school to another and may be refused re-admission to the United States upon attempting to return from a trip abroad. If a student fails to comply with the F-1 student immigration regulations, Milo International Language Center is required to report status violations to the USCIS via SEVIS. When USCIS receives a report of a status violation, officers investigate the violation and the student may be put into removal proceedings to ask them to depart the U.S.
