Program details to confirm

The school publishes three schedules (Morning at $380 (9am to 1:30pm), Intensive at $380 (8am to 5:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and Evening at $350 (5:30pm to 10pm)) but does not say what period those prices cover, so no tuition is recorded here. It does state what an overseas applicant must document for the I-20: proof of financial support of at least $18,000, plus a $95 non-refundable application fee and a $175 non-refundable administrative fee. The overseas-applicant fees also list a $125 document-preparation fee and a class-dependent $80 to $145 textbook fee, both described as refundable upon cancellation. Confirm the complete current fee schedule and refund terms in writing; the public homepage and fee page do not establish a current tuition period.

Do you need a visa for this program?

For this course at USA English Language Center San Diego, a weekly hour count does not by itself establish permission to study as a visitor. Language training generally uses the student route; the visitor exception is limited to a short recreational, non-credit course during a tourist visit. Confirm the actual course and your circumstances before booking.
