We, at Premiere Career College, are authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students. Upon receipt of the student's Enrollment Agreement, test scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), high school or equivalent transcript (with a certified translation into English and an explanation of the grading scale), and appropriate fees, we will determine whether or not to accept the student into their chosen program.

It is unlikely that the immigration authorities will grant foreign students permission to be employed during school. Therefore, as a foreign student you should have sufficient funds available to cover tuition, fees, supplies and living costs.
