Steps for Accepted International Students
Congratulations on being accepted to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor! We are looking forward to welcoming you to our campus. Here are the steps necessary to qualify for the United States Citizenship and Immigration form I-20.
Step 1: Submit a certified Affidavit of Support from individuals or agencies stating (in US dollars) the monetary commitments to cover the total cost of attending UMHB. The current cost for two semesters (one academic year) at UMHB is approximately $15,000.00. This includes 12 hours of tuition/fees and room/board for the fall and spring semesters. Your affidavits of support must equal at least this amount. Necessary forms for the Affidavit of Support are available at www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-134.htm Please note that the Affidavit of Support requires supporting evidence such as a letter from the sponsor's bank and letters from employers. Also, the US government requires that the Affidavit be notarized by a US consulate employee if the sponsor is outside the United States.
Step 2: Submit copies of all previous I-20's.
Step 3: Submit an advance deposit of $5000.00 (US dollars only). This deposit will be credited to the student's account. It will be used to pay any outstanding application fees, dormitory deposit, and the International Reserve deposit of $1000.00. The remainder will be credited toward the first semester's tuition and fees. A receipt will be issued to the student.
No I-20 will be issued until all required documentation and deposit have been received by the International Student Services office.
