Do I need health insurance?

Coverage is required for all international students. Proof of insurance must be presented on or before the first day of class. You can purchase individual international student health insurance from any insurance provider. 

What financial documents do I need with the Application Form?

You will need a certified bank letter. The U.S. Immigration Service requires that you or your sponsor have enough money to cover school and living expenses. The minimum dollar amount needed for the bank letter is determined by the number of months you wish to study.

To calculate expenses for the length of your study, determine the tuition cost according to the Price List and add at least $1600 per month for estimated living expenses. Add $400 per dependent per month to your bank letter.
