International Students
The University provides academic and social support to its growing number of international students. International and Multicultural Affairs is a part of the University’s Student Life Department. All international students are encouraged to use the University services to seek assistance for their concerns and to become involved in campus activities. University services include the English as a Second Language (ESL) program, the International Club, and Focused international student programming.
International Student Visa Certification
An international student requesting an application for a student visa (F-l) must be accepted to the University in a full-time program of study. Since federal and/or state financial assistance is not available to international students, the student is also required to present certified evidence of sufficient funding to cover education and living expenses. If, after attending the University, the student decides not to return, notification must be made in writing to the Office of Student Life. If a student wishes to travel during the authorized time of study at the University, he or she must present a current I-20 form to the Office of Student Life for certification prior to departure. A student not following the regulations of the U.S. Department of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Service is considered out of status and may be subject to deportation from the United States.
