[ALBSA-Info] continuing education in the US (with a US tourist visa)

[Mentor Cana]

Dear friends,

I have a question in regards to continuing education in the US for a person
that has entered US with a tourist visa. Hope someone can help.

Can a person, that has entered the US with a tourist visa, continue high
school or college education?

The short answer is probably not. However, I'm looking for an answer from
experiences students that might have been in such situation. What have they
done to continue school (high-school, college) in the US? What if the
person in question is 17 year old? Can the status of legal guardianship
by US citizen help to enroll them in high-school?

I think that colleges almost require that students have a status (other
than a tourist) to be able to enroll. However, high-schools might not have
such strong requirements.

As I said above, I'm looking more for answers by people that have been
in such situation or can advice on the proper course of action.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

The person in question will appreciate any help in this matter!

Sincerely,
Mentor Cana
