For Students enrolling in:
Housing Application is due. The link to the housing application will come via e-mail when you receive your student ID and MSM e-mail.
Follow these steps to get your US government student visa, which you’ll need to be able to attend Manhattan School of Music.
The application process for the SEVIS Form I-20 and F-1 Student Visa can take several weeks, so it is extremely important for students to be prepared and plan ahead.
Useful information to know ahead of time about applying for the SEVIS Form I-20:
Only original financial documents with official English translations will be accepted when applying for the SEVIS Form I-20. Please do not fax or email the application and financial documents. You will be mailing the original documents to:
Manhattan School of Music International Student Services 130 Claremont Avenue New York, NY 10027
The original documents will be returned to students for use at their U.S. Embassy visa appointment after their SEVIS Form I-20 application has been approved.
NOTE: Students must be formally admitted before the SEVIS Form I-20 document can be issued and mailed to the student. Students that are conditionally admitted cannot receive a SEVIS Form I-20 until they have completed their files with the Office of Admission and have been formally admitted.
