To enter the U.S., most foreign nationals will need a passport from their home country and a U.S. visa in their passport. Degree-seeking students and dual-degree students will usually hold F-1 Visas. Visiting exchange students will usually hold J-1 Visas. Some students are dependents of parents already in the U.S. on a visa (H-4, L-2, A-2, etc.). The Quinnipiac International Admissions Office will issue the immigration form (I-20 or DS-2019), which you will need before applying for your U.S. student visa.
