Visa Process

In order to begin applying for your visa to come study in the United States you will first need to pay your seat deposit.  Once the deposit is received you will be sent instructions on the next steps in applying for your visa.  

While seat deposits are not required until May 1, we highly encourage you to submit as early as you are ready.  Given processing delays and potential wait times at embassies around the globe we are encouraging everyone to start the visa process as early as you possibly can.

In the meantime please, begin to review the information available to you from our Office of International Affairs via the link below:

Please note that your emailed letter of admission will suffice for visa purposes.  We do not mail out physical copies of the letter of admission.  Though we are happy to print and sign one for you if you decide to enroll in the program and come to Chicago!!
