I wanted to know whether u will be in status joining tri-valley univ, california. i did some research and found out it is pretty cheap considering other universities. plus offers phd degree, online classes, gives u cpt as soon as ur classes starts. the university issues i-20 but the dept of education does not recognize it.

my concern will i be in status (i am asking this since international students usually cannot take more than certain online classes). anyone familiar or have taken classes in this univ please respond. thanks. and happy new year to u all.

Oh Yah, Tri-Valley Univeristy is the world first university that can broadcasting each of the classmeeting as on TV. On-liine is jsut a simple word for understanding, they are different from Univeristy of Pheniz, which mainly offer on-line prgram, mainly just reading, TVU's class all have live weekly class meeting, I mean a instrucotr really give live lec, and you can attend that in yoru computer like on TV. They have a few classes when there is not enrollment they put them on-line reading, and majority classes are having real class meetings, just the new technolgoy make the class  meeting can be acessed remoetly, so people at work at a different location, do not have to battle the traffic. They are full SEVIS approval. They are only 3 years old, buthave many students, Depart of Education does not accredited any unveristy, it is the accreditation agency accredite universities, they have a international accreditation, and not belong to the department of educaiton, but they are in th eprocessed of applying for a US Deartment of Educaiton recognized accrediation agency accreditaiton. They also have very good and fast staff,---- the class also have good quality, but very low tuition in the othe rhand---TVU is the very best indeed!

You won't have any problem! TVU at the begining is mainly for US students to obtian a gradaute degree while working, but now their international students are actaully majority!

Is Tri valley a reliable university to get a CPT ? Does anyone got their visa change from this university?
