FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS OF AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT

All international students must have sufficient funds to pay for the registration fee, tuition, textbooks, living expenses, health insurance, transportation, in addition to other incidental expenses while attending college in the United States. Documented evidence of means of financial support must be provided to the CBT Technology Institute for admission purposes and issuance of the F-1 Student Visa.

For more information on how to acquire an F-1 Student Visa, please refer to the International Student Handbook, or email [email protected], or ask for the International Representative. It is mandatory for all international students to submit the registration fee and down payment before the application is processed and the I-20 form is issued. However, please note that if you apply for the student visa and it is denied, we will refund the down payment (except for the Processing/Application fee) within 30 business days of the visa denial. Please note that a letter from the embassy stating why the visa was denied is required to receive the refund.

Cancellation of the application by the student must be made by certified mail or in person and in writing.
