Visa Information

Our school legal counsel has thoroughly researched the requirements for students traveling to the United States for a summer program such as ours. He has assured us that under current Immigration Service policy, an F-1 Visa, I-20 Form and entrance into the new SEVIS system is NOT necessary for program attendees. They may come into the country in Visa Waiver or B-2 status (depending on the country of origin) as they have in the past.
Since November 1, 2004, all international students are required to have a machine-read passport.
