Enrollment Criteria

For Reinstatement Students (F-1 Reinstatement Applicants): If you are currently in the United States on an F-1 visa but have fallen out of status (due to a violation such as unauthorized drop below a full course load or failure to transfer schools in time) and wish to regain legal F-1 status through a reinstatement application to USCIS, you must follow the steps below:

• Prior to enrollment, students should ensure they have reviewed the school's catalog and refund policy.
• Completed application form along with all required supporting documents:

  • Copy of high school diploma or higher, or equivalent educational credential
  • Current and past transcripts if available
  • Bank statements must be issued within the last 60 days. Statements must show a minimum of $15,000 USD (plus $3,500 for each dependent) to support issuance of a one-year Form I-20
