An email will be sent to you, requesting deposit of $3500.00 be made via peertransfer.com, referencing your student ID number. You should also review the section “Know the Law” As part of your entry into this school and the United States, please carefully review this section. International students must adhere to many rules and regulations that govern their stay here in this country on an F-1 student visa.
  2. Complete ALL application materials. To obtain an application please contact the International Student Services Office at (856) 227-7200, ext., 4568 or ISSOffice@achador.net
  3. Make a payment. After you have been accepted at CCC, the International Student Services office will send your SEVIS I-20 form along with the letter of acceptance and instructions on how to make SEVIS payment. You will also find instructions on how to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee. You can also find this information from www.fmjfee.com. You should take these documents to the U.S. Embassy or consulate for your interview, for the F-1 student visa.
  4. Check at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate when applying for the F-1 Student visa to ensure that, in order for you to study abroad, you have ALL your financial documents in order to finance your education.

All documents should be returned to you, including your passport, I-20, and I-94 back to you. Your I-94 should have the annotation of 'D/S', which means your stay in the U.S. is valid for duration of status.
