This support can be documented through a combination of personal, family or scholarship funds, as outlined by US government regulations.

 

Housing: PKU students are responsible for finding their own housing. The students can arrange to live off-campus in an apartment, private residence hall (dormitory), or a Co-op, or if space permitting, they may apply to live in on-campus housing in a University Residence Hall/Apartment (campus run dormitory). The DCS VISP advisor and DCS website provide assistance for identifying options.

Fulltime enrollment for undergraduate-level students equates to between 12-18 academic credits. Fulltime enrollment for graduate-level students (with a bachelor’s degree when entering VISP) equates to 8 or more academic credits.
