The Residential Life staff works collaboratively with students to create a living and learning environment that supports academic and personal development. Students are responsible for becoming familiar with the policies and procedures as outlined in the Capital University Student Handbook.
For residency purposes, a Commuter is defined as any student who has an approved release from the housing requirement, per the criteria listed below. A Resident is defined as any student who is or will be living in the Capital University residence halls, apartments, or houses managed through the Residential and Commuter Life Office.

International Students
Capital University welcomes international students and values them as an important part of the Capital University student community. The Center for Global Education is just one of many offices on campus to support the success of the international student community and to encourage global learning between all students. International students provide an important perspective to the education of U.S. students and once graduated, go forward to be leaders in government, industry, business, education, the fine arts and health professions. Capital University enrolls students from more than 30 countries.
International students pay the same fees and must meet most of the same admission criteria as U.S. students. In addition, international students need a minimum TOEFL score of at least 500 pBT, 61 on the iBT TOEFL or 6.0 IELTS with specific sub scores for the traditional undergraduate program to ensure that they can experience success in the classroom. Students applying for Nursing must have a minimum 550 pBT, 80 iBT or 6.5 IELTS for admission to the traditional undergraduate nursing program and a 600 pBT, 100 iBT or 7.0 IELTS for the ABSN (accelerated) program.

The Center for Global Education as well as the Global Student Association provide additional programming open to all Capital University students.
F-1 immigration policies require undergraduate international students on F-1 status to enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester. An exemption to this immigration requirement is the last term of enrollment, but this must be first authorized with an advisor in the Center for Global Education. Students on F-1 status may only take 1, 3 hour on-line course each semester that may count as part of their full-time enrollment. Students may choose to take a “vacation term” during the summer semester where they may take a reduced course load or a complete break, but they must enroll again for the fall semester.
Degree-seeking students on F-1 status, who wish to engage in any off-campus internship or field placement, whether paid or unpaid, should first meet with an international advisor regarding curricular practical training. The Career Development Office, in connection with the Center for global Education, offers a specialized career development course for undergraduate students with a focus on understanding work authorization rules, high impact practices and cultural nuances of preparing for internship opportunities in the United States. This course is titled “Career Development through an International Lens” (UNIV 193-02) and is traditionally offered during the fall semester.
The Global Student Association provides peer support and social activities to students from abroad and sponsors educational events, such as an international fair for the entire campus. U.S. students also are encouraged to join and participate.
