Travel & participation
International students may apply; noncredit Academies do not provide visa assistance or F-1 support, so entry requirements must be confirmed independently.
Application requires a 300–500-word personal statement and a school-official review, with academic eligibility checked.
Arrange required health insurance, complete pre-arrival forms and follow campus-leave and curfew rules.
Commuter families arrange accommodation and daily travel; residential students need to manage laundry, sleep and other personal routines.
