International Students

SAE New York is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant foreign students (M1 Visa). International students must complete the entire enrollment process before the school can issue a form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility). The student must present that form, along with all other required documents, to the appropriate consular officials in order to obtain a proper visa for entry to the United States. Unfortunately, regulations do not allow international student to enroll in part time classes (ATP or EMP).
