Make an appointment with the embassy in your home country and present the required documents, along with the I-20, to obtain your F-1 visa.

Provide the International Office with your I-20, I-94, passport and F-1 visa.

If you have taken the SAT or ACT, an official copy must be on file in SCC's Records Office before your advising appointment. If you have not taken either test, the Computerized Placement Test (CPT) is provided on walk-in basis. Click here for testing hours.
