PAY MY BILL

Upon Arrival:

---

Report Date

Entry into the United States is limited to thirty (30) days before the program start date listed on the I-20. Upon arrival, students must report to an International Student Advisor. Please bring your I-20, passport, and visa. Your advisor will make copies of these documents for your file and review the documents to verify your immigration status. After this is complete, your advisor will assist you through the enrollment process. Allen is required to report students to the U.S. Government who do not check-in with the International Advisor and/or who do not enroll full-time.

Enrollment Requirements

All students granted an I-20 from Allen are required to enroll as a full-time student during the Fall and Spring semesters. Failure to do so will place you in violation of your immigration status.  Full-time enrollment consists of twelve (12) credit hours; typically, four (4) courses. Students must enroll in a minimum of 9 credit hours on campus. Any additional hours may be taken online.

Once a student has enrolled, it is very important that you do not make changes to your enrollment without first speaking to an International Advisor.

TB Testing

Kansas statute requires all students to complete a screening for tuberculosis (TB) before beginning their first semester at Allen Community College. Screening is completed with the admissions application. As a student, you may be required to complete additional testing to determine if you have active TB. Testing must be completed in the United States and can be done at the local Kansas Health Department Office upon arrival. All costs associated with the testing and/or treatment of TB are the responsibility of the student. Students that are required to complete the testing will receive an email from the Vice President of Student Affairs. Testing should be completed within one (1) week of receiving this email.

Transferring from Allen

International students wishing to transfer to another institution must meet the admissions requirements of that institution. This will include the student currently being “in-status” with the I-20 issued from Allen. The student will also need to request that an official transcript is sent from Allen to the transfer institution.

If admission is approved, the student will need to provide the International Student Advisor with a copy of the acceptance letter and request that the I-20 be transferred to the new institution.

Exit Information

International students who have completed their program at Allen but do not wish to transfer to another institution, are given 60 days to return to their home country. If the student decides at a later date to return to the United States to pursue education, the student will need to apply for admission to the institution and re-apply for the I-20.
