Adler School of Professional Psychology Catalog 2008 – 2009

Once students arrive on campus, they must notify the Office of Admissions
of their arrival and update their U.S. address. I-20s cannot be updated with
Homeland Security until we receive this information.
International students must have their I-20s updated each year they are
in attendance at the School. Students must maintain full-time status each term
as outlined by the school for their program. If the student has extenuating
circumstances that require that they are enrolled less than full-time, the student
must request an exception from the Director of Student and Alumni Affairs. If
an exception is given, then the Director will issue a letter to be used to update
the student’s SEVIS record and to accompany the student’s I-20.
Students should not attempt to enter the United States without their
current and updated I-20.
Although the School does not provide financial assistance for International
Students in the form of financial aid or tuition reduction, students are eligible
for Adler School scholarships unless otherwise noted.
International Applicants: Vancouver Campus
