Visa Information
Since SLEI is only a 3 week program with fewer than 18 hours of weekly classroom time, it does not fulfill the time requirements of an F1 student visa. In general, students will have to obtain a tourist visa to attend SLEI. Students who are from a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program MUST apply online at the Visa Waiver Program application page.
Health Insurance
Please be advised that the Summer Legal English Institute does not provide health insurance to its students. Before you come to SLEI please be sure to review your current health insurance policy and its regulations for travel abroad. You should bring copies of your health insurance information with you upon arrival, in the event of an emergency.
