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.
Summer English Study (SES) students take classes Monday through Friday for at least four hours each day.
Classes focus on four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The Summer English Study (SES) program was especially designed for musicians; SES students study the special English of music.
In addition to attending classes, Summer English Study (SES) students have fun one-on-one meetings with current MSM students and alumni. These meetings give SES students the time to practice their conversational English skills and to learn more about New York City.
All meetings are conducted in English. All Summer English Study (SES) students will be REQUIRED to live on-campus in Andersen Hall during the SES Program. Students will be able to move into Andersen Hall at the end of June and will have full access to the MSM practice rooms.
