International Student Orientation will be offered in both on-line and in-person sessions. More information with specific dates/times will be sent to you by email upon confirmation of your enrollment. Attendance at orientation is required.
Students studying in the US are expected to arrive by the βRequired Arrival Date in the USβ in order to attend the mandatory in-person international orientation and TB/Tuberculosis testing dates.
If you are currently in the US attending another school on an F-1 visa, you may be able to take one or two classes 51ΑΤΖζ as a concurrent student. Please visit ISP Forms and view the "Concurrent Enrollment Form: Non-IVC Student" for instructions, documents required and how to submit your request. Concurrent enrollment requests take 3-5 days for processing.
51ΑΤΖζ may request that international applicants have their academic documents evaluated by a credential evaluation service. We will notify you by email if this is required.
Additionally, students who are seeking transferable credit towards an IVC degree or certificate for study done at a foreign university will be required to have their transcripts evaluated by a credential evaluation service.
