This is an exciting time and we look forward to having you join us on campus. Before you begin your journey, there are a number of things you need to take care of. We want to make this part of the process as easy as possible.
How to Apply for an F-1 Student Visa
You will often hear and read the term SEVP or SEVIS. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is a program within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that manages the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). SEVIS is the internet-based system that maintains records of foreign students and exchange visitors before and during their stays in the United States.
STEP 1:
Receive your certificate of eligibility for nonimmigrant student status Form I-20 (for F visa). You are receiving these instructions because you have just received your I-20 and are now ready to go on to:
STEP 2:
Pay the SEVIS fee. You must pay a SEVIS fee and fill out other visa application forms prior to your visa interview. Go to the SEVIS I-901 fee processing website () for complete information about paying your SEVIS fee. Follow the instructions carefully. For more information, you may also visit the Study in the States website for students (). Visa interview scheduling is done online or by phone at most U.S. embassies and consulates.
STEP 3:
Schedule Your Interview and Apply for Your Visa (This step does NOT apply to Canadian citizens.) Refer to the U.S. nonimmigrant visa website .
It is best practice to ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond the end of your study in the United States and that your name is spelled correctly and appears the same on all documents.
Be sure to have your Form I-20 and your SEVIS receipt.

Immunization and Medical Records Verification for New International ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú
For the safety of our campus community, all students are required to have certain up-to-date immunizations before arriving on campus. As such, all new students must verify their immunization and medical histories through our Student Medical Report and Immunization form.
All incoming international students, regardless of classification, must have the following vaccinations and documentation:
- Measles, Mumps and Rubella Vaccine?- All students born after 1956 must have had 2 doses of the vaccine. One dose must have been the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. A copy of a lab report showing proof of immunity from measles (rubeola), mumps and rubella can be submitted in lieu of the vaccine.?
- TB Skin Test or BCG Vaccine?-?A negative Tuberculosis Test is required of all international students. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú who are found to have a positive test will not be permitted to attend classes until follow-up testing can be completed and it is determined there is no active Tuberculosis disease. Record of BCG Vaccination can be submitted in place of a TB Skin Test.?
- Please complete and email the?ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Medical History and Immunization Form?to?.
We recommend that all incoming students, especially those living in residence halls, have the following vaccination:
- Meningitis Vaccine (A, C, Y, W-135)?¡ª within the past five (5) years?
*Online Learners are not required to provide proof of immunizations.
Failure to comply with Immunization and Medical Records Verification, including verification of all required immunizations, will result in an inability to register for classes and participate in other pre-fall activities such as athletics, band, cheerleader tryouts, practice or residence hall check-in.
Individual Colleges, e.g., the Division of Nursing, may have additional immunization requirements. These are general guidelines to be interpreted by the staff and subject to change based on the medical needs of the University.
Medical history and immunization information MUST be submitted at least one month prior to your intended enrollment date: We recommend having everything verified prior to your attendance at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Orientation, as you will not be allowed to register for classes without being cleared.
Housing at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú
Among the integral parts of any student's experience is living in an entirely new environment, whether on- or off-campus. Your roommates may become friends for life, you¡¯ll find yourself in new and diverse social circles and begin to create the foundation for living as an adult that will serve you on the next step of your journey. While all freshmen start ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú life at Gilbert Hall, there are several options for on- and off-campus living as you progress.
To learn more about our housing options and apply for housing, click here.
Medical Insurance
All ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú international students on F-1 visas are required to have health insurance and will automatically be enrolled in LewerMark Insurance each term they are at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú. The International Health Insurance fee for the fall and spring terms will automatically go into the student account each term after registering for classes.

Waiver Procedure: ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú must apply to waive the insurance directly through LewerMark. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú who successfully waive through LewerMark must reapply to waive each academic term. Click here to review the new waiver procedure overseen by LewerMark.
