Non-Resident Alien Student Population Trends at U.S. Colleges (2010-2019)

A non-resident alien is a person who is not a U.S. citizen or U.S. national. A nonresident alien is an alien who has not passed the green card test or the substantial presence test (more information at IRS). Generally, in U.S. colleges, a student with F-1 or J-1 visa status will not meet the substantial test for 5 years and so the student is categorized a non-resident alien. Sometimes the international student refers to the non-resident alien. For academic year 2019-2020, 994,438 non-resident alien students (4.90% of total 20,274,611 students) have enrolled in U.S. colleges.
