Student Visas
We have a cooperative proposal to facilitate nursing graduates from abroad to continue their studies at the Northwestern Polytechnic University.
This is the overview of the program:
This intensive training program is aimed at cultivating the trainees with the rich American medical and hospital culture immersion, and medical and clinical professional communication abilities as well as the global medical services necessary to participate in the highly competitive nursing and medical services professional setting. The 20-week program will be carefully divided into two major segments for professional development training of the participants Each segment of training is 10 weeks in length, and the final week is reserved for group and ndividual review and professional review and evaluation purpose.
Segment I. US Medical and Health Care Business Communication Capability Development (BCCD)
The BCCD gives students the opportunity to practice and improve communication and professional skills in a friendly US medical campus or simulated environment before moving the next phase of the training.
Segment II. Medical and Hospital Culture Immersion (MHCI)
The specific capability of medical skills such as medical project planning, medical records management as well as patient to doctor and doctor to patient medical care and attending techniques will be taught. Each trainee will be required through the practical drill exercise in this intensive training period.

Important Rules for International Students:
In addition to observing all rules and regulations required for all students, international students are required to observe additional rules in order to maintain good status during their studies in the U.S.A. The following are major rules applied to all international students:
1. Maintain full-time status; register on time every trimester.
(a) Requirements on full-time course-load in a trimester are:
Undergraduate students: taking at least 12 units,
Graduate students: taking at least 9 units,
ESL students: taking at least 18 units.
When a student takes a combination of degree and ESL courses, ESL course units are divided by 2 to be counted as degree-equivalent course-load.
When a student audits a course, the course units are divided by 2 to be counted as credit-equivalent course-load.
(b) Maintaining on-going full-time status: An international student must enroll full-time for two consecutive trimesters before being allowed to enroll for less-than-full-time course-load for one trimester.
(c) Due to the Immigration Service’s requirement for approved universities/colleges to report each international student’s registration status at the beginning of each semester in its online management and tracking system, each international student must register on time each trimester in order to maintain status. The online management and tracking program takes control of certain parts of the program and sets the student “status” flag based on semester dates.
2. Maintain good attendance records.
3. Maintain satisfactory academic progress.
An undergraduate student is required to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0.
A graduate student is required to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0.
An ESL student must maintain passing grades.
4. Report address changes to the NPU administration office.
When you change address, you need to update it either through the LRC online facility (on the “Student” records site) or inform the NPU administration office, and the designated NPU staff will follow the federal regulation to update your address information in SEVIS.
