The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the U.S. government office responsible for enforcing immigration laws. ICE is a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and has its headquarters in Washington, D. C. If you are not a citizen or a permanent resident of the U.S., you will most likely need to attend CCU on a student visa. It is important to note that student visas are institutionally specific. Our university will not issue an immigration document until you have provided evidence of your ability to financially support your education in the United States.

As an international student in the U.S. you have certain rights and responsibilities under the law. In order to maintain your legal status, it is important to understand how immigration regulations affect you. Your international student advisor in the Office of International Programs & Services is trained to help you understand the many regulations, which apply to the F-1 student visa category.
