NOTE FOR ALL NON-U.S. CITIZENS
All payments of registration and tuition fees should be made in U.S. Dollars (U.S.D.) rather than the currency of your own country. You may go to your bank and request a cashier’s check or money order in U.S Dollars to pay those fees. The check must have magnetic numbers at the bottom of it. Otherwise we will have to send the check away and it will take around six weeks for it to be returned- often times with a service charge taken out. This will mean that you must make up the balance still needed. If you are unable to get the checks described in your country, we will process your funds anyway, but be prepared to make up the balance or the funds needed.
