I-20 Requirement

The I-20 is a multi-purpose document issued by a U.S. government-approved educational institution. It certifies that a student has been admitted to a full-time study program and has demonstrated sufficient financial resources to stay in the United States. We understand navigating this process can be overwhelming, so our International Undergraduate Admissions counselors are here to help you every step of the way. 

  • I-20 will be issued upon acceptance to the University.
  • Please allow two weeks for I-20 to be issued.
