ALCP students should bring enough money to cover the cost of tuition and fees, health insurance, housing expenses, books and enough cash to cover incidental expenditures. We recommend that students bring money in traveler's checks rather than cash. Students should carry all documentation of financial support for immigration purposes, as well as for registration with the ALCP.

New Student Orientation is required of all new students. This two-day orientation is an opportunity for new students to learn about ALCP policies and procedures, set up their University of Idaho email (called VandalMail), get a student identification card, and learn more about how to stay in F-1 student visa status. Students also take a placement exam to assess their English proficiency. This exam determines the level a student will be placed in. Make sure to arrive 1-3 days early so your mind is fresh and ready to meet students, staff and teachers!
