INTERNATIONAL STUDENT INFORMATION

International students will need to obtain an F1 student visa. Students who already hold an F1 visa should contact their Designated School Official to clarify any visa questions or issues. Canadian citizens do not need visas to study in the U.S. However, Canadian students do need to obtain an I-20 (or DS-2019) Certificate of Eligibility from the University.

There are additional academic requirements for international students in order to be eligible for the F-1 student visa. The Fall and Spring intensives, typically 3-4 days, are extended for international students to a total of 10 days each. In consultation with the ICPP Program Director, international students select two sites for Field Study each year. These studies are modules of the Independent Project (in the first year) and the Thesis Tutorial (in the second year), and each student will outline a question to be researched during the residency, complete a written report/paper of findings, and share the results with other students. ICPP Faculty and Staff will ensure that international students are placed, and are able to fulfill the requirements of the F-1 visa.
