Lake Washington Institute of Technology is committed
to providing an excellent educational experience
for international students. We value the diversity
of perspectives and experiences that international
students bring to the college, and are dedicated to
making the international student experience rewarding
and memorable. International Programs provides
international student orientation, workshops and
seminars, highly personalized individual attention, and
immigration and visa support. No TOEFL score is required.
International students are welcome to enter the more than
100 degree and certificate programs at LWIT. International
students can participate in and complete requirements
for the Bachelor of Technology in Applied Design (BTAD)
degree, Associate in Applied Science degrees, Certificates
of Completion, or Certificates of Proficiency. (Selective
admission programs may require an additional application
after acceptance to LWIT.)
LWIT provides many opportunities for international
student involvement in campus activities. Leadership skills
may be gained by participation in student government.
We have a large and active International Club to enable
students to connect with each other and the campus.
The application and visa procurement process for
international students may take as long as a quarter,
so students should apply early. The priority application
deadline is one quarter prior to the quarter of enrollment.
Late applications are accepted and processed on a rolling
basis. Every attempt is made to process application
materials as quickly as possible. International students
applying for an F1 or M1 visa must submit the following
to the international program office:
1. An international student application and application fee.
2. Copy of passport information pages (visa and I-94
upon approval)
3. Proof of financial independence. Financial aid in
the form of scholarships, loans, and grants is generally
not available to international students, especially
during the first quarter of attendance. The amount
required for this document is subject to changes in
tuition and fees.
