How do I submit my application documents?
Please send all of your documents via e-mail to: international@ccsf.edu
- Only include PDF documents
- Each PDF file should be renamed according to its content (example: "Passport.pdf")
(Due to COVID-19, we currently don't accept applications submitted via postal mail or in person).
What happens after I submit my application?
Our office will review and evaluate your application within 4 to 5 weeks and will contact you via email once your application has been reviewed. Then:
- If you are a new student, you will receive an acceptance letter and a Form I-20. The Form I-20 will allow you to schedule an appointment at the U.S. embassy in your home country to apply for an F-1 student visa.
- If you are a transfer student, you will receive an acceptance letter and a transfer-in form. These documents must be submitted to your current/previous school, so they can transfer your SEVIS record (I-20) to CCSF.
- A few weeks later, we will send you another email with detailed instructions about orientation, counseling, and steps to complete for class registration.
