Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I am a returning student. Does my I-20 automatically renew?
A: No. You need to obtain a new I-20 every year and fill out a new International Student Form here.
Q: English is not my first language, is this acceptable?
A: Yes. Rock students come from all over the world. Some students primarily speak non-English languages. Students tend to learn a lot during their time here both inside and outside the classroom. During the school year, Rock Academics offers English as a Second Language (ESL), providing an introduction to the English language for non-English speaking students. For more information regarding ESL classes, please email RockAcademics@therockschool.org.
Q: When should I complete the International Student Form?
A: As soon as you can. An I-20 cannot be issued without the information provided in the International Student Form. The I-20 is required to get a visa and the M-1 visa interview and application process can take several weeks.
Q: I am attending the Summer Intensive for one week. Can I enter the U.S. on a B (tourist) visa?
A: No. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you must enter the country with an M-1 visa to attend the Summer Intensive at The Rock School.
