International Students | Online Learning

F-1 and J-1 students are eligible for one online/distance education class or 3 credits per semester (session) to be counted towards the “full course of study” requirement.

An international student must receive approval from an International Advisor in the International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) by completing a Distance Education Clearance Form for International Students before enrolling in distance education courses. (Note: This form is distributed by ISSO only.)

For additional information on distance education as it relates to an international student please contact ISSO at isso@ncat.edu or (336) 334-7551.
