Students receive assistance in selecting and applying to appropriate colleges and universities. Student are asked to send their arrival information to the center as soon as possible so that appropriate accommodation arrangements can be made. The registration date is specified on students' I-20 forms. All students take placement tests, fill out registration forms, pay fees, and attend orientation sessions. Students who will live on campus move into their residence halls on the first day of registration.
All fees are due on the first day of registration.
Checks, bank drafts, or traveler's checks drawn on a U.S. bank are recommended. Each of our host institutions may or may not offer scholarships to individual students for undergraduate or graduate academic study. If and when academic scholarships exist at any American university, they are very limited and are awared only on a highly competitive basis. Inquiries regarding such scholarships should be sent by the individual student directly to the Admissions Office of the university. Other legal restrictions apply thereafter, and it can be very difficult for an international student to find work while studying in the United States.
