It is up to the individual school whether or not they will accept international students who do not have, need, or want a student visa. But, based on the fact that ajlm1984 is international and signed up for Olivet, there is certainly miscommunication somewhere. I have no idea where. It could be that someone let ajlm1984 in when they shouldn't have or it could be that someone is misunderstanding gams007's need for a student visa. There are a lot of factors at play here; some of which are outside of the school's control. They need to make sure that they are legally in the clear and are most likely going to err on the side of caution rather than get into trouble with the US government.
