CCs that accepts out of country international students?

The difficult part is going to be that most schools assume you will be on campus, and therefore assume you will need or have the proper student visa. It will take some work with admissions to make sure you can enroll and take online courses from outside the USA without having a visa.

Thank you davewill for the link.

Unfortunately I'm not a US citizen otherwise I could just drop by, enroll in a CC as an in state student and take the classes online.

I am thinking of computer science at HES.

Thank you allvia for clovis. I've checked them out as well. Just haven't contacted them yet.

You may want to have them evaluated by ECE or WES and get yourself a BSBA or a BALS from the Big 3.  Getting an evaluation from ECE/WES is my first recommendation, for example, if you have a 2-year diploma, it may already be sufficient to put you in Junior or Senior year at the Big 3.  

I'm from Singapore and have a 3-year bachelor's degree from Australia from 16 years ago which is not equivalent to a 4-year bachelor's degree in the US. I was thinking that since it's not recognized, I can probably do a 4-year US bachelor's degree online. I also have 2 - 3 classes from a US CC that can probably transfer into the prospective university.

As mentioned above, I'm interested in the computer science degree program in HES so I'm hoping to be able to transfer in as many credits as I can and then do the rest with them. I read here that in COSC you can get letter grades from SL. I wonder if that will work for eventual transfer to a university.

NJMC sounds great if they accept international students without the need for visa and me being on campus.

I just realized that even for online classes at CC, some of them would require me attending the online class during US hours which will be a little crazy...
