Student Permit

International students must obtain a student permit to enroll in academic, vocational, or training programs in the U.S. that last longer than six months. This permit confirms the student’s academic status and ensures their information is correctly recorded in the U.S. academic database. Completing this process is essential for legal compliance and smooth post-graduation procedures, as no international program can be pursued without formal authorization.

Registered international students gain access to a variety of support services, including financial assistance, credit evaluations, and academic benefits, ensuring their studies continue smoothly and without disruption.

No Objection Certificate (NOC) for Travel or Non-Travel

Students intending to participate in programs that involve U.S. travel, such as credit transfers, student exchanges, or semester-based requirements, must declare their plans at the time of admission. They should indicate whether they will study on-campus in the U.S. or complete the program remotely through non-traditional learning. Many distance-learning programs still include a mandatory in-person component, typically around three months, though durations vary by program.

Regardless of the mode of study, international students must obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to register their application in the government database.

  • NOC for Travel: Required if the student will travel to the U.S. to attend courses at a recognized institution.
  • NOC for Non-Travel: Required if the student cannot travel due to valid reasons and requests an official exemption from travel-based academic requirements. This process is facilitated by American Board of Higher Education Commission, which ensures program verification, academic compliance, and communication with relevant authorities.

Procedures may vary depending on nationality, international regulations, and updates to U.S. educational policies. American Board of Higher Education Commission ensures all variations are properly administered in compliance with global academic standards.

Important Note:

Final admissions for the Immigration Program are open from January to April 2021. We strongly advise prospective students to apply early to secure authorization and timely course registration.
