Graduates: Must take 6 credits per semester
In AU and FPU, the minimum attendance rate is 80% per semester.
Maintain a valid or unexpired I-20

What happens next?
Once all application documents have been submitted and reviewed by us, we’ll make an admissions ruling and notify students of our decision.
If we do offer a positive admission response, you’ll receive:
Applicants for a campus-based degree program are required to obtain the proper visa in order to study full time.
What is the F-1 visa?
The Form I-20 is a multi-purpose document issued by a government approved U.S. educational institution certifying
that you have been admitted to a full-time study program, and that you have demonstrated sufficient financial
resources to stay in the U.S.
What is the F-1 visa?
After receiving an I-20 from their school, an international student must make an appointment to apply for the F-1
visa at the local U.S. embassy or consulate in their country. The visa is the document needed to be allowed entry into
the U.S. You must present both the F-1 visa and the I-20 to the U.S. immigration inspector upon arrival.
However, if you’re not able to finish your program on that date, you must request an extension from the Atlantis International Office at least one month before the completion date expires.
Your actual completion date may not necessarily be the day of your graduation ceremony or the date on your I-20. In fact, many students actually finish their degree requirements before the completion date on their I-20.
For undergraduate students, the completion date is considered to be the last day of final exams of the semester when your degree requirements are fulfilled.
For graduate students, the completion date is the day on which all degree requirements are fulfilled, such as filing the thesis or dissertation in the Graduate Division.
If you do not have a research component to your degree program (such as in the MBA program or other professional schools), your completion date would be the last day of final exams of the semester and your degree requirements are fulfilled.
What is the 60-day grace period?
When you complete your study program, you’re allowed a 60-day grace period to depart the U.S., request a school transfer or change your status.
If you’re interested in working in the U.S. after finishing your studies, you must apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) work authorization at least 90 days before the actual program completion date.
Credit transfer can be a confusing and complicated task, but it’s worth the effort and time. We’re happy to accept transfer credits from other institutions. As an international student, you must provide the following documentation for school transfer:

The idea of travelling abroad to study is exciting. However, as well as contemplating the new world of opportunities that could open up to you, you’ll need to have a think about the admin too. One of the most important preparations you can make is to get the right insurance.
There’s a big student insurance market out there with various levels of coverage, so you’ll need to look at the variables, length of stay, country-specific rules and what activities you might need coverage for.
