International Students
I am not a United States citizen. What type of visa do I need?
Non-citizens may attend in one of two ways. Registrants attending as tourists may travel to the United to participate in the workshops, but are not eligilble for university credit or Carnegie Mellon transcripts. Registrants attending the workshops for university credit must have an F-1 student visa; the deadline to submit application materials to the Carnegie Mellon Office of International Education is May 1st.
Please note: The U.S. State Department restricts credit-bearing study for visitors using the Visa Waiver Program or B-1/B 2 visa. Any visitor considering traveling to the U.S. in one of those statuses should review the U.S. government’s guidance and carefully consider their plans. International students coming to Carnegie Mellon to enroll in credit-bearing classes who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents may need to obtain an I-20 Certificate of Eligibility from the Office of International Education (OIE).
- If you are already in the U.S. in F-1 status and will be returning to your current school next fall, you would not need an I-20 from Carnegie Mellon.
- If you are already in the U.S. or will be coming to the U.S. as a dependent of a parent/spouse who is working in the U.S., you would not need an I-20 from Carnegie Mellon.
- If you will be coming to the U.S. from overseas to participate in a credit-bearingprogram and will either return to home or attend a school in the U.S. in the fall, you will need an I-20 and must complete the necessary paperwork to obtain that I-20.
Please see for specific information about tourist visas. This varies by country. The Carnegie Mellon Office of International Education has provided an informational packet. Students interested in non-credit bearing programs may be able to participate if they are already in the U.S. in another immigration status or are attending school in the U.S. in F-1 status.
