Student Support

In order to receive a Form I-20 and F-1 visa, applicants must prove that they have sufficient funds OR funds will be available from an identified and reliable financial source. Funding must be available to cover the cost of all living and school expenses during the entire period of anticipated study in the United States. Specifically, applicants must prove they have enough readily available funds to meet all expenses for the first year of study, and that adequate funds will be available for each subsequent year of study. 

To make a payment for tuition, room & board, etc., you have the following options. Please note, that you will not be charged for classes until you register. Also, you will not be charged for room & board until you have been assigned a room. If you make a payment on your account when there is nothing due, the amount will be returned to you in the form of a check.  Payment for tuition is due typically three weeks before the start of the term.  A key requirement of on-campus housing clearance is that tuition, room, and board, are paid in full approximately five weeks before the start of the term.
