Accepted Student Next Steps
Only once all of the below requirements have been submitted will Naropa issue you the form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status) so you can begin the process of applying for your student visa. Because visa appointment wait times vary greatly from country to country, we encourage international students to begin discussing the visa process with their Admissions Counselor as soon as possible.
