No Student Visa Required
Because all of your learning is 100% online, you do not need (and are not eligible for) a student visa or a SEVP Form I-20.
Evaluating Credits for Transfer

The evaluation must include grade equivalency and level of equivalency (graduate or undergraduate) for each course as well as the cumulative GPA. Trident uses the evaluation to determine which credits will be accepted for transfer.
