International applicants must agree to the following:

  1. An applicant must agree to return to his/her home country immediately following studies at CFNI.

  2. An applicant must agree to refrain from raising monies for personal or ministry purposes while in the United States.

  3. An applicant must agree not to accept any type of off-campus employment, unless in possession of a valid U.S. Government employment authorization document, or be involved in any type of illegal activity whatsoever while a CFNI student.

  4. An applicant must agree to attend CFNI full time. All international students on F-1 status must attend school full time. A spouse or child of a full-time student (F-2 status) may not take classes. Those with F-2 status are not eligible for the Work Study Program. The U.S. government does not allow those with F-2 status to work at all on or off campus.

  5. An applicant must recognize that a student visa does not permit him/her to come to the U.S. for the primary purpose of traveling, but only to attend a specific school for a specific period of time. Students may travel between terms, but not while school is in session.

  6. An applicant must agree to deposit on arrival his/her return transportation ticket at the Admissions office. It will be held until it is time for the student to depart.

  7. An applicant who has not been granted an F-1 visa must not travel to the United States on a visitor's visa and then try to enroll at CFNI as a full-time student. This is illegal according to the U.S. Immigration Policy.

Any further requirements will be explained to the student during the application process.
