International students should review the submission of
documents requirement by "Freshman",
"Transfer" and "Students
Educated Abroad" sections in order to apply for an I-20
Certificate. Prospective students should be aware that an I-20
Certificate can only be issued to a student after he/she has
been completely processed and accepted into the college through
the University Application Processing Center (UAPC).

must submit the following documents:
