If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you do not need a student visa. This paperwork will provide you with explicit instructions for applying for the visa and making a legal student entry into the United States. Once here, students who would like to improve their conversational and reading skills in English may sign up for classes offered by local volunteer tutors.
Students receive basic health services at our on-campus health clinic.
