Other important information

  • Students residing with a sponsor in the United States must provide a letter certifying that living expenses (room and meals) will be provided in addition to $23,000 for tuition, fees and personal expenses.

  • Students may be sponsored by a parent, relative, friend, government agency, scholarship agency or themselves.

  • Student visa holders are not authorized to work off campus in the United States except under special circumstances.

  • On-campus employment is permitted, but limited, so students should not plan to support their educational expenses through student employment.

Actual costs that a student incurs during the nine month school year can vary, particularly in living expenses, housing, meals and program of study. The university's tuition and fees are subject to annual increase.

Form C of the International Student Application must be completed before a student can be admitted and issued a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20) to obtain the F-1 (Student) visa. An additional $9,000 for a spouse and $5,000 for each child accompanying the student must be documented in Form C.
