  • 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.
