What happens after you send your application to us?

Once the International Student Affair Office receives your documents, fees, and application, we will review and assess your information.
If you meet all college requirements for enrollment, we will send you an acceptance letter and the U.S. Immigration I-20 form to get a visa.
In order to get a student visa, take your papers to the American Consulate or Embassy.
After you arrive to Memphis, come to our office at 5983 Macon Cove or 737 Union Avenue for advisement.
You will attend orientation, take placement tests, pick up class schedules, pay tuition and fees, and start classes.
