FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Annual increases in tuition and fees are anticipated; therefore, it is suggested that an additional 10% be added to these totals to safeguard against increases.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS:

Students who need (or currently have) an F-1 visa are required to show funding support based on the estimated cost of attendance. Visit the Financial Support Requirements Form for more information.

Support for Dependants:
