Non-Citizen, Non-Immigrant, and International Students

Virginia Peninsula Community College admits qualified, eligible non-citizens, including those who have an undocumented or DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) status.

VPCC is not an SEVP-certified school and is unable to accept students who have or require F or M visas. We are also unable to accept visas which do not permit study in the U.S., including B visas.

Not all statuses are eligible to establish Virginia domicile to receive in-state tuition rates. However, some students may be eligible for the Virginia Tuition Equity Provision regardless of status.
