Before you can schedule a visa interview, you will first need to submit your SEVIS Form I-20 application. If it is approved, International Student Services will send your SEVIS Form I-20 to you, along with instructions to schedule and prepare for your visa interview.

The application process for the SEVIS Form I-20 and F-1 Student Visa can take several weeks, so it is extremely important for students to be prepared and plan ahead. The deadline to complete the Student Visa Interview is June 7, 2024.

Placement exams are used to determine the level of each student’s abilities in music history, music theory, aural skills and other subjects related to specific majors. A new student can place out of remedial courses and/or required courses by excelling in these exams. Placing out of a course will allow greater flexibility in their coursework.
