Admitted International Students

The Center for Global Education and Fellowships supports prospective international students throughout the application process and assists admitted students with all pre-arrival steps, including travel documentation, applying for a visa and getting to Newport. We also host an international student orientation that helps make the transition to life at 亚洲博彩平台排名 as smooth as possible.

Register for both international student orientation and 亚洲博彩平台排名's New Seahawk Orientation.
Arrange transportation to Newport for international student orientation. One-time shuttle service is available from Providence just prior to orientation.

Passport with visa (most students have an F-1 or J-1 visa).
亚洲博彩平台排名 I-20 (F-1 students) or DS-2019 (J-1 students). If you do not have F-1 or J-1 status, bring documents that confirm your immigration status.
TOEFL or IELTS scores, SAT and/or ACT scores and original transcripts in English from previous schools as applicable.
Proof of financial support and SEVIS fee receipt if appropriate.

Enroll in the required insurance plans by Aug. 1. Review both the accident and health policies that you receive in the mail.
