    • Tourist Visas

    Individuals that have a B-1/B-2 Visa, or an ESTA waiver, can attend classes in the Intensive English Program as a part-time student for a short recreational course, not for credit toward a degree. Attendance should be incidental to the main purpose for presence in the United States.

    Part-time students who place into Intermediate to High Advanced can take 3-15 hours of classes per week.

    To apply to the Intensive English Program, please submit the following information:

    • IEP application (Click HERE to apply) 
    • (Click HERE  to pay the fee) 

    Course Information

    Once you are admitted into the Intensive English Program, you must take a placement test before we can place you in a level of study. The placement test is given at orientation the week before the program begins. All new students are required to attend this orientation!

    Change of Status

    • Application Process for Change of Status from B-2 (Tourist) to F-1 (Student) 

      Please note the following before applying from a change of status from B-2 (Tourist) to F-1 (Student):

      • If you have a B-2 visa, you are not allowed to begin studying until your change of status is approved.
      • The normal processing time for a change of status is approximately12 months and cannot be expedited.
      • If you travel outside the U.S. while your change of status application is pending, your application will be canceled.
      • Changes of status do not provide the student with an F-1 visa, but only the status of a student. Therefore, should you receive change of status approval and then depart the U.S., you will need to apply for an F-1 visa at a U.S. embassy before you will be able to re-enter the U.S. to resume your studies.
      • You must apply for the change of status before your I-94 expires; your desired date to start studying in the Intensive English Program should be no more than one month after your I-94 expires.
      • You MUST maintain your B-1/B-2 status until your change of status is approved by USCIS. If your B-1/B-2 status is going to expire and you are still waiting for your change of status, you will need to submit an I-539 application to extend your B/1-B/2 status and pay the $370 fee.
      • If you leave the U.S. and return to your home country to apply for the F-1 visa, this processing time is much faster. Please check here for Visa Appointments & Processing Wait Times. 

      Please contact the IEP for advisement if you are interested in applying for a change of status.


    Please contact us (iep@kennesaw.edu or 470-578-2214) with any questions.
