- View helpful information for families.
- Visit student accounts for financial information.
- Orientation for the Class of 2028 will take place August 21 through August 25. More information is available on the Orientation website.
- For international students: Learn about applying for a Student Visa. Refer to our International Student Services page for student support and information about the Visa process. Once your enrollment deposit has been received, the I-20 process can begin. Please be sure that you have submitted a copy of your passport photo page through your applicant status portal. Your passport must be valid in order for an I-20 form to be issued. If you are currently studying in a U.S. school on an F-1 Visa, a Visa transfer will be issued upon your high school graduation. We will contact you when we are mailing the form, so you will know when to expect it.
