Summer update for prospective international high school students

Currently, international high school students can take summer session online courses in their home country; however, Summer Sessions does not sponsor F-1 visas for international high school students. International high school students who are already in the US and have an active visa are eligible to attend with the permission of their US high school. 

For all other undergraduate level prospective summer students, please contact siss@ucdavis.edu for questions regarding I-20 requirements.
