For F-1 visa applicants to receive an I-20 you must take these steps:
- Apply online for a 6, 9, or 17 week program.
- Complete the financial support form. (Or have the individual funding your studies complete the form.)
- Send a copy of a current bank statement.
- Pay the $100 non-refundable application fee.
- Send a copy of the biographic page in your passport (The one with your picture on it).

To be considered for admission, we must receive items #1-5. When you pay the full tuition (item #6) we will mail you an I-20. Although you may make the tuition payment at a later date, we cannot send an I-20 until full tuition payment has been made.
