2022-2023 Academic Year Gui2022-2023 Academic Year Guidance from SEVP


Contrary to what we sent as anticipated Fall 2022 Guidance on 4/1, NOTHING will be changing for 2022-2023 Academic Year.

Summer Health Insurance

If you are a NEW student for Summer 2022, you will be charged $554 for the summer semester. This charge will be reflected on your student account.
