Documents for I-20

All international students who will attend USU Eastern will need a Form I-20 “Certificate of Eligibility for Non-immigrant Student Status.” The Form I-20 is used to apply for a visa to enter the United States.

Immigration laws require international students who wish to study in the U.S. on an F-1 visa show proof of finances for one year. Information on providing the required documents will be provided to students after admission.

Admitted students must provide the following so that the I-20 (the document needed to apply for a U.S. visa):

    The bank statement or letter must:

    • Be liquid assets (such as checking or savings).
    • Include the date of the letter or statement was prepared.

    Providing falsified, doctored, edited, or fraudulent financial documents will result in the denial of your Form I-20 and may ultimately result in your admission from Utah State University being revoked.

Medical Insurance

Students are automatically enrolled in the university health insurance program.

Transfer Credit

If a student has attended a college or university outside the U.S., a transfer credit review must be requested. Instructions can be found at International Credit Transfer.  If you have questions about this process, please email intlcredittrans@usu.edu.
