Western International University (West) welcomes students from around the world. International students are defined as those who are neither citizens nor permanent residents of the United States (U.S.). West is authorized to accept and enroll qualified, degree-seeking, nonimmigrant students (F-1 status) by the Student Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).
International applicants should begin the admission process well in advance of the desired enrollment date, with a minimum of three months recommended. After receipt of the I-20 form, students should plan on a minimum of six weeks before beginning coursework in Phoenix.
