SENMC is not an I-20 issuing institution. International students who do not need an I-20 certificate may only register for online courses. International must be able to speak, read, and write in English.
Step 1: Submit Admission Application
You will need to perform the following tasks:
- Apply to submit an online application (Note: this account is for Admissions only)
After you have submitted your application it usually takes about 24 hours until you receive a phone call and email from your processor with your next steps.
