International Students

UC Davis international and national students

International students enrich the UC Davis campus community with their cultural and academic experiences, and we welcome your application. The campus attracts approximately 1400 undergraduate students from around the world!

Am I Considered An International or Domestic Student?

You are considered an international applicant if you need a visa in order to reside and study in the United States. If you are a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee or asylee, you will be considered a domestic applicant even if you currently reside outside the United States.

If you plan to apply for an F1 student visa or plan to adjust your current visa status to F1, you must first be formally admitted to UC Davis. Services for International Students and Scholars (SISS) can provide more information about visas and assistance with immigration issues. Please visit our International Student Resources section to learn about additional services for international students.
