As an international student, you bring a whole new perspective to the Villanova community. We look forward to welcoming you to campus this coming August. Here are some important steps to take in order to begin your transition to Villanova University:
- In order to apply for your F1 student visa, you must submit the Certification of Finances form (available to the right) and supporting bank letter (from within the last six months). Once we receive the above information and verify its contents, we will send you the Form I-20.
- If you are currently in the United States on a student visa (F1), you will need to submit the Certification of Finances form, submit a supporting bank letter and submit the Transfer Form, available to the right or from our Office of International Student Services (610-519-8017) to your current Designated Officer to release you to Villanova University.
- If you are currently in the USA on another visa type (H, L, M, O, etc.) you will need to decide with your family whether or not to transfer your visa to an F1 visa. If you decide to switch, you will have to follow the same procedures mentioned above.
Please contact us via e-mail (international@villanova.edu) if you have any additional questions or concerns.
