This means that nearly every student with a secondary school education is given an opportunity to prove his/her ability to achieve on a university level. It is understood that failure to succeed in freshman classes (first level) determines which students will continue to upper-level courses.
The International University admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded and made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basic of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
