Preparation for an American University Program  


Application Form
 
This unique preparatory program for foreign students was developed to facilitate the student's successful application for an undergraduate course of study in an American university or graduate school.

The program is designed as a one year program, although the student can take individual semesters as well. Each semester provides the following special features:

  • An intensive English Language Program designed to bring each student's English capacity to TOEFL level
  • TOEFL & Conversation classes
  • Special advisory seminars and counseling
  • Personal evaluations of the student's academic history and ability
  • How to select a graduate or undergraduate program for a freshman or transfer
  • Guidance in preparing a portfolio for submission to the school of the student's choice and all other necessary documents
  • Auditing academic courses
  • Off campus activities including visits to museums, galleries, places of interest in the Hamptons, Long Island, and New York City led by a PAUP activities director.
Each participant in this program will room with an American student in a regular campus dormitory. PAUP students will have access to all campus and student activities.

Documents Needed for an I-20 Form

  • Admissions Application - Filled out by the student. A non-refundable admissions fee of $120.00 is required.
  • Copy of passport / visa and any correspondence you have had with the Immigration Service.
  • A notarized statement from sponsor stating that he / she will be responsible for the student.
  • Original letter from sponsor's bank stating that sponsor has $21,500.00 in US dollars in the bank. Depending upon length of stay, the minimum amount may be increased.
  • Letter written by student stating that student wishes to enroll in the ESL program at Southampton Graduate Campus.
When the above documents have been assembled, they will be presented to the Director of the English Language Institute at Southampton College and an I-20 will be issued if everything seems in order.

The student then presents the I-20 Form and supporting documents to the consul in the country they are entering the U.S. from.

There is never any guarantee that the consul will, in turn, issue a student visa.
