UPDATE (as of April 19, 2024)
We are pleased to announce that the LAUSD will resume admissions for J-1 Exchange Students in the Fall of 2024. This update applies only to international/foreign students on J-1 Exchange Visas. At this time, the District has not re-opened admissions for F-1 Visa Students.
The admissions process has been updated and all sponsoring organizations are required to obtain prior District approval. As part of that process, all sponsoring organization must have a fully executed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on file with the District in order to submit student applications. High School Enrollment/Acceptance forms will be signed by the Foreign Student Admissions Office (FSAO) following verification of MOU status and consultation with school site and region administrators.
