International Student Visa Information

All international students must enter the US on a student (M-1) visa. NTC can issue the Form I-20 for eligible students. All M-1 students are entered into the computerized Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), which monitors the immigration status of international student. Details of requirements to obtain the Form I-20 and student visa are in the How to Apply for International Applicants section below. Students should carefully follow proper immigration procedures in order to maintain legal status in the US. Students on other visas may be eligible to study full-time or part-time, depending on the visa. Contact the Admissions Office or any US Embassy or Consulate for more information.

Important Information for Students in M-1 Status

1. All M/F-1 students should be enrolled as full-time. Full-time status must be maintained and verified to avoid being out of proper USCIS status.

2. Students are responsible for notifying the International Student Office of any change in their personal information no later than 10 days after the change is implemented. (Example: address, telephone number, etc.)

3. A student may be recommended for off campus employment after the student has completed one year in his/her program of study and proves the need for financial assistance. M-1 students with a work permit may work twenty (20) hours per week while classes are in session and forty hours per week during vacation period.
