International Student Policy
All International Students must set up a "check-in” appointment to meet one-on-one with the school director within 7 calendar days following an arrival in the U.S.
During this appointment, we we accomplish the following:
- I-94: The Director or the designated school team will show the student how to print their own I-94 which they should do after each time they travel. Make sure they know to look for the “M-1” and make note of the Admit Until date on the I-94.
- M1: Students must bring their passport to the appointment so we can identify the stamped page and a written “M-1” by the CBP officer, showing the Admit Until date. This stamp serves as backup confirmation of their admission in M-1 status. The school will copy the page that includes the stamp for their record. The school will also make a copy of the newly issued M-1 visa page in the passport and a copy of the passport bio page.
- I20: The school will make a copy of the fully signed I-20 that includes the student’s signature.
- Travel Endorsement: The school will show the student how the school would provide the student with a travel endorsement signature on page 2 of their I-20 for possible travel during the school year. Please be reminded to let the school know your travel dates before you depart. You would also want to print a new I-94 upon your return
