Any student requiring ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµÏÂÔØsponsorship for a government-issued student visa is considered an international student. ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµÏÂÔØ sponsors students for F-1 visas.
Prospective students who hold legal permanent residency in the United States should refer to our domestic undergraduate admission or domestic graduate admission pages.
Students who are currently in the United States on another visa type (B, H, J, M, R, or other) should contact the international specialist to discuss their educational options.
A Form I-20 from the sponsoring school is required in order to apply for an F-1 visa. This document will be issued to admitted students upon receipt of the $100 tuition deposit. Please refer to the website for information about the process for obtaining a visa.
Some current visa holders must request a change of visa status before they can begin classes. You can file Form I-539 once you have received your Form I-20 from ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµÏÂÔØ. This change of status must be approved before these students can begin classes.
For most international undergraduate and graduate students, the deadline is May 1 for the fall semester (classes begin in August) and October 1 for the spring semester (classes begin in January). Applications will not be reviewed until all documents have been received. International students who apply after the deadline cannot be considered, as they will not have enough time to receive their visa.
For current F-1 visa holders transferring to ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆµÏÂÔØ, the deadline is June 30 for the fall semester (classes begin in August) and November 30 for the spring semester (classes begin in January).
Students interested in certain graduate programs have earlier deadlines.
