Are you an international student aka a student living outside of the United States with citizenship from another country? Welcome. Visible accepts International students from a variety of different countries. However, its important to understand the basics as laws and regulations make the Admissions process a little more complicated.
Please carefully review the information before applying to make sure you have the best chance for success.
It is important to know that the instruction at Visible Music College occurs only in the English language. Visible does admit students from other countries and is able to issue I20 for F1 Visas through the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).
For more info see Study In the States. While Visible does not charge for this service, students can expect to incur additional expenses from SEVP to establish an F1 Visa. In addition to the minimum admission requirements for your desired program, you will need to complete the following steps:
Remember before Applying you must complete and review each requirement to ensure that you can have a more successful chance of application. If you need assistance in this regard, our friendly Admission's team is available for International Assistance via the Form below.
Prospective students from non-English speaking countries must complete an English proficiency test. Test scores must satisfy, at minimum, the intermediate level of all skills (reading, listening, speaking, and writing).
The Duolingo English Test is an online English proficiency test that can be taken online, on-demand, in under an hour for only $49 (USD). The test is taken via a computer with a camera and includes a proficiency score, video interview, and writing sample which are shared with Visible Music College when you send your results. Certified results are available within 48 hours of the test session
International students must provide proof of funding. As part of your application, all international students must demonstrate proof of necessary funds (i.e., copies of bank statements). This can be personal, family, relatives, etc.
If a student is being supported by family or relatives, then a letter needs to accompany bank statements saying that he or she will be supported with a specific amount of funds.
Students will need to request a “course by course” evaluation of both their high school (or equivalent) and/or college/university transcripts if completed in a foreign country.
Students must request and pay for an evaluation of their international transcript through SpanTran.
The cost for this transcript evaluation service is $150 (USD) to be paid directly to SpanTran. To start the process, click below:
In order to apply for your I20 and gain entry to the United States, you will need a valid passport that does not expire during the time you wish to attend Visible Music College.
