c. The student is not required to show proof of a MS address when qualified under this statute .

 ● International Students: International Students are expected to have the documents that correspond to their admission status (current visa, if classified as an international student; translated and/or evaluated transcripts if admitted based upon transcript; and proof of residency, if student has established residency status in MS or the U.S.). Colleges may set their own admission standards for international students beyond the minimum federal requirements. Colleges are encouraged to be familiar with Student Exchange and Visitors Program (SEVP) when admitting students on F, J or M visas, because federal law requires colleges to report certain information for these student visa types. For more information on SEVIS, visit: http://www.ice.gov/sevis/ and at studyinthestates.dhs.gov. However, please note that the MCCB does not audit the college’s admission standards nor SEVP compliance.
