Visa Information

To study in the United States, you need an F-1 or M-1 visa and a passport from your home country. You also need to register with SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). Citizens of the United States or lawful permanent residents (green card holders) do not need a student visa.

To obtain your student visa, visit the nearest U.S. Consulate in your community.
