Obtaining an I-20

An I-20 is a certificate of eligibility for F-1 visa status. Marymount University issues the I-20 for admitted students who submit the following items:

• a completed International Student Supplemental Information (ISSI) form upon admission (Visit www.marymount.edu/Admissions, choose "international," and then select "once you're admitted.")
• an enrollment deposit to reserve a space at Marymount (This deposit is credited to the student’s account. The deposit must be in the form of a check drawn on U.S.-based branches of U.S. banks in U.S. dollars, or with a valid credit card. A non-refundable deposit of $300 is required for both commuter and residential students.)
• a legible photocopy of passport ID pages
• a valid international address
• an official original bank statement showing sufficient funding in U.S. dollars for one year of study, as outlined on the current International Student Supplemental Information (ISSI) form (This statement must be signed and stamped by a bank official and dated no earlier than six months prior to the issuing of the I-20.)

Students currently enrolled in a U.S. high school or university must submit the following additional items:

• a completed Transfer Clearance Form, available on the Admissions website under International Students
• photocopies of all previous I-20s
• photocopies of all previous U.S. visas
• copy of the I-94 record. Applicants can also download their I-94 record on the Department of Homeland Security website at https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home.

Marymount University will cover the cost of shipping the first initial I-20. International students are responsible for all subsequent I-20 shipping fees unless an error was made by the university. If a student requires an updated I-20 due to deferral, errors in documentation submitted, or electronically approved an I-20 with errors, they will be required to cover the cost of shipping an updated I-20 through https://study.eshipglobal.com/default.asp. Shipping costs for updated I-20's due to a visa denial will be considered on a case by case basis.
