Jesus

Bobby
Yes, I do.
Jesus
just to make sure we are in the same track
Jesus
is a student who was brought here as a kid and lacks of ss
Jesus
well that would be me and my question is can i still enroll in FSU?
Bobby
DO you a high school diploma or a GED?
Jesus
yes i do
Bobby
Are you a current US citizen?
Jesus
no
Bobby
No problem. All you would need to do would be to get a student visa. Are you wanting a campus or online degree?
Jesus
online
Bobby
OK then no worries.
Bobby
Applicants must submit the following to be considered for undergraduate admissions: 1) Completed enrollment application, 2) $75.00 application fee, 3) Official Final High School Transcript or GED test scores - GED must be approved by your state's Department of Education. One Letter of Recommendation is highly recommended, but not required. You should also have an informal interview, over the phone or in person, with an admissions representative at some point. There isn't a portfolio requirement for this degree program and neither the SAT's or ACT's are required.
Jesus
and that is the thing i live in the US, I came here with a tourist visa
Bobby
Has your Visa expired?
Jesus
yes
Jesus
when i was 15 years old
Jesus
i am now 19
Bobby
Ok, you will need to get that renewed to a student visa.
Jesus

Jesus

Jesus
by that time it would be to late
Jesus
i need 1 minute be right back
Bobby
Ok.
Jesus

Bobby
No worries
Jesus
so do you know what could i do?
Jesus
who could i talk to ?
Bobby
I don't think that you will be able to attend school with no viable visa.
Jesus
not even online?
Bobby
Not unless you pay the total amount of the degree. Without any financial assistance.
Jesus
well money isnt an issue for me
Jesus
how can i register if i am ask for a SS
Jesus
at least online registration form
Bobby
Yes, I was just about to say, that you need a visa id or a ss
Jesus
i have heard that you can talk to the people
Jesus

Jesus
well
Jesus
i can talk to people
Jesus
do you know how can i contact with them?
Bobby
You can contact the University at 800-226-7625, but without a visa id or a ss, you will not be able to attend.
Jesus

Jesus
alright thank you very much!!!

Is there a particular reason as to why you would rather attend Full Sail University over a public or private college that doesn't care about your status?

Full Sail University is a for-profit university, so I think they make their own policies and it's usually super hard to sway them as you would any other non-profit school.

i called them and talked to them about my status and they said it was ok and that they were just going to put me as international student, and money wise they told me i could get a loan here https://www1.salliemae.com/international/
so far this is the only school i have tried because i got a called today and i was said to myself why not lets give it a try and here i am excited to know that at least one school will take me

FullSail is horrendously expensive. We're talking about $15k per semester. It is also only nationally accredited -- this means that your credits may not transfer to any regionally accredited institution (most "real" universities like private and state universities are regionally accredited).

Keep trying to get into some other university. You are, after all, talking about shelling out $80K for an education here.

For-profit school's degree is worth almost nothing, please reconsider your plan.

that not true. standford is for profit school

For-profit institutions are never good.

I would be very worried about declaring my self illegal like you just did in that interview. I mean, they have all sort of resources these days to track people, maybe you should be more carfeul who you are talking to.

It's a private university operating with a "for-profit" mentality since it doesn't receive funding from the state, but that's absolutely different from a university that issues stock and has shareholders that demand that a profit for them is made.
