Certificate of Eligibility Issuance

The Application Process

1)   Prospective students should obtain the application for admissions.

Graduate students must also submit an application for an I-20  or DS-2019.  The undergraduate application contains the I-20 request form.

2)   The department in which you are seeking admission will evaluate your application and make their decision whether or not to grant you admission to the University. The Office of International Services usually receives notification from the department, but it is in your best interest to submit a copy of your acceptance letter to our department as well.

3)   The Office of International Services will keep track of all materials you have submitted to this office (see I20/DS-2019 application requirements below) and, upon receiving notification that you have been admitted, mail you your I-20.

4)   If you submit your application for admission without submitting your application for an I-20/DS-2019 you may experience a delay in receiving your document as it takes some time for our office to receive and process your application. It is in your best interest to submit both the admission and the I-20/DS2019 application at the same time.  The -20/DS-2019 will not be sent to you, however, until all required documents are received.

Obtaining the Application for a Certificate of Eligibility

The Office of International Services will issue  your form once all materials are submitted to this office.
