International Student Admissions

ECPI University defines an international student applicant for admission as any non-US Citizen who currently lives:

• outside of the United States and plans to enter the United States through the use of appropriate student visa documentation issued by ECPI University.
• inside the United States in valid academic or vocational student non-immigrant status and wishes to transfer to ECPI University from another educational institution; or,
• inside the United States in any other non-immigrant classification, and wishes to obtain valid academic or vocational student non-immigrant status in conjunction with attending ECPI University.

Legal permanent residents of the US, residents of US territories, naturalized citizens, refugees, as well as non-immigrant aliens granted asylum to the US are not considered international students.

International Applicants - Admissions Requirements

In addition to meeting the standard requirements of admission to ECPI University, international applicants must fulfill the following additional requirements. To document financial support, copies of original financial statements are required.  

• A completed and signed ECPI University International Student Application Attestation Form.

• Scanned copies of original and official financial statements. Financial statements (typically provided by a bank) must verify sufficient funds to cover the cost of the educational program for the first academic year as well as all living expenses and must demonstrate access to liquid assets available within the last six-months of the date of submission. If the financial statements are not in the applicant's name, a completed affidavit form or letter is required.
• A scanned copy of the applicant’s passport (picture and information pages). (Any applicants currently residing outside of the United States who have not yet acquired a passport will need to submit a copy of their birth certificate to validate date of birth and country of citizenship.)
• For all non-immigrant applicants residing in the US at the time of application, a photocopy of the visa page contained within the applicant’s passport.
• For all non-immigrant applicants residing in the US at the time of application, a photocopy of the applicant’s Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record (both sides).
• For all non-immigrant applicants residing in the US at the time of application who currently hold valid F-1, M-1, or J-1 non-immigrant classification: written confirmation of current non-immigrant alien status from the school through which that non-immigrant alien status was secured.
• Proof of Health Insurance or signed insurance waiver form.

  Proof of Health Insurance typically is a photocopy of a health insurance identification card, which includes:

  • Policy number
  • Group and/or individual identification number
  • Full name of the policy holder
  • Beneficiary’s name, if the beneficiary is not the policy holder.
  • Start date of health insurance coverage as well as the expiration date of health insurance coverage.

Applicants who do not possess health insurance must be prepared to purchase health insurance through an approved ECPI University provider upon matriculation into the University.
