International Students
International students admitted into the Two-Week Non-Credit Courses
Boston College does not issue student visas for non-credit programs.聽
International students should enter the United States in a visitor status instead of F-1 student status. For citizens of countries requiring a visa to enter the U.S., participants should obtain a B-2 鈥淰isitor for Pleasure鈥� visa to come to the U.S., which allows you to engage in tourist-related plans as well as to participate in these programs. Citizens of countries who enjoy the benefits of the Visa Waiver Program should enter the U.S. in WT 鈥淲aiver Tourist鈥� status, which permits the same activity.
Health Insurance
On-campus international students must provide proof of health insurance before arriving on campus and coverage must be a U.S. based health insurance policy. Insurance must cover the student during the entire duration of the 51茶馆E session.聽 Please note: we cannot let students into the program without appropriate vaccinations under any circumstance.
