Before you apply to Institute of Intensive English

Check the exact course and intake with the school before paying. Our listing does not submit an application or confirm an offer of admission.

  • Ask for the next available start date and application deadline.
  • Ask about entry age, English-level placement and any course-specific requirements.
  • Ask what housing is available, its total cost and the commute to your actual classroom.
  • Read the cancellation and refund terms before making a payment.
  • If you need F-1 status, ask whether this campus and this exact course can issue a Form I-20. A school-level SEVP match does not establish course eligibility.
