Before You Depart

After You Land• You will pass through U.S. Customs & Border Patrol (CBP). This may take some time. • You will be asked by a CBP officer to describe the purpose of your visit to the U.S.: If you are traveling on an F-1 Student Visa, show your visa and I-20 and explain that you will be studying full-time; if you are traveling on a Tourist/B-2 Visa or on an ESTA Visa Waiver, show that supporting documentation and explain that you are traveling primarily as a tourist.

If you have arranged an airport transfer through Rennert, a greeter holding a Rennert sign will be waiting by the Welcome Center: you will receive more in-depth details about the transfer prior to your departure. If you did not arrange a transfer service through Rennert, you can travel to your accommodation via taxi, public transportation, car service, etc. Most students arrive the day before their Rennert study begins, so we recommend that you get plenty of rest after arriving at your accommodation.

For your first day at Rennert, you can commute to the school from your accommodations via public transportation, taxi, or by walking if you are staying nearby. Detailed commuting instructions can be provided upon request.

Please make sure to bring the following documents with you for your first day:

• Your passport (with Visa/Entry Stamp)• Your I-20 (if applicable)• Proof of Health Insurance• Proof of Payment

Your first day at Rennert will consist of New Student Orientation and testing. At Orientation you will meet members of the Rennert team and experience a presentation about Rennert, the city, and the activities and excursions available during your stay with us. Our Placement Test measures you on your English reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. Every student will interview with a Rennert team member.

After testing, and orientation is over, you will receive information about your class placement level and your books. Don’t miss the welcome mixer for new students that evening and don’t be late for class the following day! Looking forward to seeing you soon in the U.S.A.!
