Under current U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations, international students must provide evidence of sufficient resources to support all of their living and educational expenses during their stay in the United States. In order to receive financial approval for admission and a Form I-20, an applicant must complete the International Student Financial Form and provide all required documents to verify that sufficient funds are immediately available. Students accompanied by their families will be asked to verify additional financial resources. The payment must accompany the application to SIUE's Intensive English Program. Applications not accompanied by the application fee will not be processed.
Normal procedure is for tuition to be paid in full during the week of orientation.
Students will not be allowed to move into University housing or participate in any class before full payment is received. Financial penalties will apply if a student withdraws from the program after classes begin. All new IEP students are required to attend orientation. Orientation activities include an immigration program, campus tours, various workshops, and placement testing. All application materials should be received by the following dates to allow sufficient time for application processing, I-20 processing, mail delivery, and Visa and other departing procedures and plans.
