Visa Requirements:
In addition to meeting the standard requirements for admission, international students must also complete the following steps:
- Complete the Application for Form I-20 and Affidavit of Financial Support, which is to be notarized. This document is essential in order to receive a student visa (F-1), which allows the student to study in the U.S. Certified evidence that there are adequate funds to meet all expenses during the first year of study must be present. This is part of the Form I-20.
- Transfer students with F-1 status who have attended an American college or university and want to transfer to Monmouth University, will need to submit the application for Form I-20, as well as an F-1 Transfer Request form.
Our dedicated Office of Global Education is available to assist you through any challenges you may face during the visa process.
