Yes, the Intensive English Program at KSU is authorized to provide I-20s to international students who wish to come to study English on an F1 visa.

Once we have received your application and required documents, an I-20 typically takes 3-5 business days to process. We can then mail you the I-20 with your acceptance letter. If you are outside of the U.S., please allow about 2-3 weeks from the date the I-20 was shipped to the day it arrives.

When you get your visa, you will need to take the following steps:

• Sign and date the I-20 in blue ink at the bottom.
• Pay the SEVIS I-901 fee to the government. Information about the I-901 fee can be found here: fmjfee.com

Admission to the IEP does not indicate acceptance to Kennesaw State University for a degree program. Students who are seeking admission to a degree program at KSU must apply for that program and meet all requirements for admittance to KSU.

This includes proof of English proficiency and in some cases an SAT/ACT or GRE/GMAT standardized test score. For a list of application requirements, please see the following links:
