International Students
International students admitted into the Two-Week Non-Credit Courses
Boston College does not issue student visas for non-credit programs.
International students should enter the United States in a visitor status instead of F-1 student status. For citizens of countries requiring a visa to enter the U.S., participants should obtain a B-2 “Visitor for Pleasure” visa to come to the U.S., which allows you to engage in tourist-related plans as well as to participate in these programs. Citizens of countries who enjoy the benefits of the Visa Waiver Program should enter the U.S. in WT “Waiver Tourist” status, which permits the same activity.
Health Insurance
On-campus international students must provide proof of health insurance before arriving on campus and coverage must be a U.S. based health insurance policy. Insurance must cover the student during the entire duration of the BCE session. Please note: we cannot let students into the program without appropriate vaccinations under any circumstance.
