Transcripts from schools must be signed by a school official or official translator and carry the appropriate seal (unsigned photostats are not acceptable). These official records from the school should be sent directly to: Office of Admissions, Berry College, Mount Berry, Georgia 30149-0159 USA

Visa

After the student has been accepted for admission to the college and has deposited the first year’s charges, we will send Form I-20 to enable you to request a visa from the U.S.A. Consulate.

Travel

Travel tickets should be purchased with Rome, Georgia, as the destination. You may secure air tickets to Atlanta, Georgia. Bus service is available from downtown Atlanta to Rome. You should make arrangements to stay at Villa International Atlanta, 1749 Clifton Road, N.E. Atlanta (telephone (404) 633-6783) if you arrive before school begins. Be sure to have reservations before you arrive in the U.S.A. When you have made your travel arrangements, notify the Office of Admissions by air mail.

Financial Aid

Berry College has no scholarships set aside specifically on their own for international students, and normally students from other countries should arrange to finance graduate study. Financial aid is limited in the amount for international students even under the most favorable situation. Letters of admission or replies to correspondence should not be considered assurance of financial aid. No student should count on work for financial aid.
