If you have not been awarded financial assistance, you will be required to demonstrate your ability to support yourself while at Tufts and pay the expenses for traveling both to and from this country before we will grant you official admission into your program. In certain cases, the International Center may require a sponsor to deposit tuition in your Tufts account before the Center can provide you with an immigration document. International students who need visa assistance are admitted to Tufts University only as full-time students. The Tufts International Center is a great source of information and counseling on immigration and employment regulations, and on procedures for admitted international students.
