International Students

Thank you for your interest in Delaware Tech!

International students seeking admission to study at Delaware Tech on a sponsored F-1 student visa must complete the steps below. If you have any questions, please feel free to connect with Student Support to speak with an admissions representative.

Before your application will be considered, you must complete the following steps:

Visit our programs of study page to identify the academic program and campus you plan to attend. While you may apply to any one campus of your choice, we recommend selecting the campus that makes the most sense for your logistical needs.
Complete both the F-1 International Student Information Packet and Application (PDF) and Application for Admission (PDF). The applications and corresponding materials must be completed and mailed to the campus where you are applying.
View the Checklist for Accepted F-1 Students (PDF) and follow the appropriate steps.

International students must meet admission requirements and demonstrate proficiency in English prior to enrolling in a degree or diploma program. Students who require additional English language training based on test scores must enroll in our intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) Program.
