Additional materials for international applicants

In addition to the requirements relevant to first-year, undergraduate transfer or graduate applicants, international applicants should submit the following information with their admission materials.

Proof of medical insurance

In order to protect students from unexpected costs of health care, SCAD requires all enrolled international students on F-1 visas to have adequate medical insurance. These students must enroll in the SCAD international health insurance plan, and the charges are automatically added to the student account. Visit the health care page for additional information and fee structure. Exemptions may be granted for students who are already covered under certain government- or embassy-sponsored plans.

Additional documentation

SCAD reserves the right to verify all documents submitted in an application for admission. Any falsification of admission documents or portfolio or audition materials constitutes grounds for termination of application procedures or dismissal from SCAD. A copy of the first page of each international applicant's passport is requested, though not required. A copy of the first page of the passport for any dependent accompanying the international applicant also is requested. These documents are used to verify correct spelling of names, correct birth dates, and other information vital to student registration.
