Fall 2025 Application Advice for International Students
Prepare for a successful start this fall!
Apply on time: Don't hesitate! Get your applications in as soon as possible.
Start visa arrangements early: Schedule visa interviews as soon as acceptance letters and I-20 forms have been received. (Pro tip: If you don't have a confirmed interview appointment or need to reschedule unexpectedly, you can face significant travel delays. Attend an upcoming visa webinar to get expert tips and advice.)
Know any protocols before traveling: Be aware of and comply with all airline and consulate requirements prior to traveling to campus. (Here is what to expect when you land at a US airport.)
