Frequently Asked Questions

It is University policy for all international students and scholars to carry medical insurance while they are studying in the United States.
According to federal law, off-campus employment is not permitted for students with J or F visas. However, two forms of practical training are available to international students close to completing their degree. Curricular Practical Training (CPT) has no time limit and may be available for students required to obtain practical experience by their degree program. CPT authorization requires that a student complete two full-time semesters (fall and spring) to be eligible to apply for CPT. Optional Practical Training (OPT) can be applied for three months prior to graduation and lasts for one year.
You need to go to the United States consulate in your country after you make an appointment and bring your LTU acceptance letter, the appropriate forms to apply for a visa from the US government, a passport, and receipt showing payment of all of the required fees. The Visa Information portion of our website has more detailed information about the requirements and process of applying for your visa.
