International Applicants

International applicants are welcome, however, the College cannot provide any I-20 or other forms to nonmatriculated students, so it is your responsibility to speak with your consulate to determine the proper means of traveling to the United States. SVA cannot provide you with a visa, nor assist you in obtaining one. Applicants are expected to have fluency in English sufficient for engaging in meaningful dialogue with other participants.

Refund Policy

A $1,000 nonrefundable deposit is required upon acceptance to the program. Full tuition is due two weeks prior to the start of the program. There will be no refunds once the program begins.

To withdraw from the program you must notify the Assistant Director, Division of Continuing Education, in writing, of your intention to withdraw. You may do so: by e-mailing your withdrawal to kmoscovitch@sva.edu; or by sending written notification via mail or fax. The Division of Continuing education is located at 209 East 23rd Street. All refunds for payment made by American Express, Discover, MasterCard or Visa, will be credited to the appropriate credit card account. Payment made by check or money order will be refunded by check, payable to the registrant. Processing of refunds takes approximately four weeks.
