If you enroll after the payment deadline, please be prepared to be financially cleared before you can register for classes.

Financial clearance requires that 100% of your first semester tuition and fees and 100% of your first semester housing charges, if applicable, be paid or covered with confirmed financial aid funds and/or third-party payments (i.e., 529 plan funds, GI Bill Veteran’s Benefits, etc.).

Options for payment to ensure financial clearance:

1. Financial Aid: Please review all financial aid awards in our NetPartner portal. If you are accepting your entire package as is, you do not need to do anything further.

All accepted, approved, and confirmed financial aid funds for the Spring 2022 semester will be applied as anticipated credit toward your fall charges.

Please note, all required financial aid documents must be completed in order for the Office of Student Financial Services to apply anticipated aid to your account. Additionally, all credit-based loans must be fully credit-approved, and all required documents for disbursement must be submitted.

• Submit SAT/ACT/AP scores or college transcripts with completed math/English coursework
• Complete placement test(s)

To access the exams, log in to MyLIM and choose the “Canvas” icon underneath Launchpad. 

If you plan to submit SAT/ACT/AP scores, or prior college coursework, please contact admissions [at] limcollege.edu.

Otherwise, based on your academic records, we may recommend the writing and the math placement tests.

You may also choose to opt out of placement exams if you feel you could benefit from the additional instructional opportunities in the corequisite courses you’d be required to complete.

Safety is a top priority at LIM College. In order to keep the College community secure, all students must carry their College-issued ID card at all times.

Students who submit their ID photo by the deadline will receive their ID card when they arrive on campus.

Students may also opt-out of taking placement exam(s) and will be placed in the appropriate co-requisite coursework.

Transfer Students

You will need an F-1 student visa to study in the United States. This visa will allow you to study for the duration of your program and does require full-time study.

Before applying for your visa, you should either contact the U.S. Consulate/ Embassy or visit www.usembassy.gov to determine the requirements for applying for the F-1 student visa in your home country.

APPLICATION

In order to obtain an F-1 student visa you will need a Form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Students) from LIM College. All documents must be reviewed and accepted. Copies of all documents are acceptable for the issuance of the I-20.

Click here to access the I-20 application.

SEVIS FEE PAYMENT

The I-901 SEVIS fee is mandated by Congress to support the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), the automated system that keeps track of students and exchange visitors and ensures that they maintain their status while in the United States.

Each student or exchange visitor issued an initial Form I-20 or DS-2019 on or after September 1, 2004, is responsible for paying the $350 fee to SEVP. The fee can either be paid by mail with a check, via the internet using a credit card, or through Western Union.

Confirmation of the SEVIS Fee payment is required for the visa interview at a local U.S. Consulate/Embassy. This confirmation must be filed with your visa application.

Click here to visit the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement website to learn more about I-901 SEVIS Fee.
