Proof of financial support may be demonstrated in several ways:
7. American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score reports. It is possible to be conditionally admitted without the ACT or SAT scores provided you take and satisfactorily pass the exam your first semester. Students who have graduated from high school more than five years ago or earned more than 26 semester hours at a college or university are exempt from this requirement. 8. If you are planning to enroll in the L.E.A.P. Intensive English Program before pursuing an undergraduate program of study, please also send us the completed application materials for the L.E.A.P.

Send all of your application materials and fees to the address below:
After we receive all of your application materials, your credentials will be evaluated and, if admissible, you will be sent a letter of admission and an I-20 form. The I-20 form is used to apply for a student visa (F-1) at an American embassy or consulate. We will also send a housing application and a form you can complete to notify us of your arrival. All non-immigrant (F-1 and J-1 status) student applicants currently in the United States are required to submit an ÒInternational Student Status Verification ReportÓ to verify current student status. This form should be completed by the Designated School Official (DSO) at the educational institution last attended or currently being attended in the United States. This form will be sent to you automatically upon receipt of your application materials. If you are not able to attend the semester for which you applied, contact the Center for International Programs and we will fill-out a new application for the semester that you will be able to attend. All of your other application materials will be acceptable for a period of one year. After that time period, new documentation will have to be submitted. |
