You should inquire at the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate. If your course of study is more than 18 hours a week, you will need a student visa.

Passport Information
As of August 19, 2002, fees for U.S. passports will increase. The application fee for first-time adult customers will increase to $85.00. Passport for minors under age 16, first-time or renewal, will increase to $70.00. The adult renewal application fee will increase to $55.00.

The U.S. Department of State recently noted that the changes are the result of an independent fee study done to ensure that the true costs of providing consular services to Americans are recovered. This includes services to Americans provided at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad, as well as the passport application process in the United States.
