Are international students eligible for these programs?
At this time, the appropriate approvals are in place for international students needing a F1 visa to enroll in the co-enrollment program at Collin College only.
The appropriate approvals are not in place to allow international students needing F1 visas to participate in the co-enrollment programs at other partner colleges.
