International students admitted into the Two-Week Non-Credit Courses
Boston College does not issue student visa 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 āVisitor for Pleasureā 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 āWaiver Touristā 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. If you need to obtain U.S. based coverage, the following company has been used by Ļć½¶Šć students in the past and provides the appropriate level of coverage. Please note: we cannot let students into the program without appropriate vaccinations under any circumstance.
