Mission Statement for Office of International and Immigrant
Student Affairs
The Office of International and Immigrant Student and Affairs
(OIISA) is committed to the intellectual, ethical, and social education of a
diverse and inclusive community of international and immigrant students.
Three primary goals shape the administration of International and Immigrant
Student Affairs at Westchester Community College:
- The application of systems to educate and inform the international
population; the college community; and the State and County entities of
the regulations governing the enrollment of international students;
- The administration of a wide range of client-centered programs and
services that meet the needs of international and immigrant students.
- The efficient and effective use of human and financial resources to
create ideal conditions for international and immigrant student
enrollment, retention and development.
International Student Admissions
Any applicant who is not a citizen, or a documented permanent resident of the U.S. and who wishes to study at the college on a full-time basis, may apply for an F-1(student) visa. Such a student is considered an international student throughout their academic stay. Students on F-1 visas must be admitted to the college on a full-time basis. International students should write to the Office of Admissions, requesting an International Student Application Packet.
(Note: International students who need intensive English preparation before starting college can also qualify for F-1 immigration status.
Prospective
Nursing Applicants
Please be advised that our nursing program is very competitive and
accepts no more than 35 students for the fall semester of any given year.
The college only accepts students for nursing once a year to start in
September. In order to qualify for admissions to the program the student
must complete the following prerequisites by May 15, of the prior semester:
If you are applying for any semester and are missing any of
these prerequisites you will be enrolled as a Liberal Arts Math and Science
student while you complete these requirements. Please note that this process
could extend the time needed to complete the program
