Open CHEA directory When you learn the university's name — and when money moves
The order matters, so here it is in full. You know exactly which institution accepted you, and can verify it in the databases above, before a single dollar reaches that institution.
Step 1 · you pay Brant
Selection process
You complete the questionnaire and submit your documents. This is what determines your scholarship level and which network university fits your profile. It is the only amount you pay at this stage — and it is refundable under the guarantee below.
Step 2 · 24 hours after your file is complete · the name arrives
Pre-acceptance
You receive the university's legal name, your scholarship level, your attendance and work-authorization terms, and its accreditor, CHEA, DAPIP and SEVP identifiers. This is your moment to verify everything above — nothing has been paid to the institution yet.
Step 3 · you confirm
You accept the terms
Once you've verified and agreed, your conditions and intake are locked in writing.
Step 4 · you pay the university
Application fee and first semester
Only now do funds go to the institution — the one you just verified by name. Your enrollment file is opened.
Step 5
Acceptance Letter and Form I-20
Issued by the university, in its own name, signed by its Designated School Official.
Why the names aren't listed on this page
Because we don't know yet. Which institution accepts you — and on what terms of on-campus attendance, work authorization and scholarship level — is decided by your selection process, not by a catalogue. Before it, there is no name because there is no decision.
And the terms we negotiate are exclusive to the network. Publishing the roster would let anyone approach those institutions directly, at their standard published tuition, without the conditions that make this program what it is.
So the trade is deliberate: this page proves the standard every network university must meet, and your pre-acceptance gives you the name, in time to check it before you commit money to that institution.
If no accredited university accepts you, you get your money back
Should no accredited, SEVP-certified network university accept your profile under the terms published on this site, the selection process fee is refunded in full, within 2 business days of the result. You risk the selection process — nothing more.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Brant University appear on the SEVP list?+
No — and it shouldn't. Brant is not the institution that enrolls students: it's the educational brand that guides your admission process. The partner universities are the ones that enroll students, issue the I-20 and the diploma — and they are the ones listed, individually, in the official SEVP certification and accreditation databases.
What does "Title IV: No" mean on a university's record?+
Title IV is the U.S. federal financial aid program (FAFSA), available only to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. It has no relation to accreditation, SEVP certification or diploma validity — and is irrelevant to F-1 international students, who aren't eligible for that aid at any university.
Can I verify the university before paying tuition?+
Yes — that's the point of the sequence above. Your pre-acceptance carries the institution's legal name and record identifiers, and no payment goes to the institution until after you've received it and accepted the terms.
Is the diploma the same one a U.S. student receives?+
Yes. The degree is conferred by the accredited university itself, under its own name and authority. Brant does not issue degrees.
Does Brant handle my visa or immigration case?+
No. Brant provides educational guidance — admissions, enrollment and academic mentorship. It does not provide legal, immigration or consular services, and no one on our team advises on visa strategy, eligibility or filings.
