Citizenship/Residency Information

US Citizenship

Select your country of citizenship and US citizenship status. If you were born outside of the US, indicate the year that you moved to the US.

When selecting your status, consider the following definitions which are adapted from the US State Department:

  • US Citizen: an individual who was born in the US or attained citizenship through naturalization.
  • Permanent US Resident/Green Card: an individual who holds a Green Card and is permitted to permanently live and work in the US.
  • None: an individual who has no US citizenship or visa (immigrant or nonimmigrant) status.
  • Refugee: an individual who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.
  • Other Visa: an individual who holds a visa other than an F1 or J1 visa.

Visa Information

If you selected Other Visa, select your visa type from the drop-down and enter the date your visa was issued (MM/DD/YYYY). Please note that we cannot advise you on your visa status or any related details.

All CSU campuses welcome applications from international students who hold a US student visa, exchange visitors, and other non-immigrant classifications. Contact the campus admissions office(s) you’re interested in for more information.
