a. Financial requirements are determined based on the length of term you intend to enroll for. For students who choose to enroll shorter than one-year, living costs are prorated.
b. The estimated living costs are calculated based on off-campus housing for a single student, including mandatory health insurance, university fees, transportation, and other related expenses. If a student plans to bring dependents, additional funding is required.
c. The minimum length of IEP study is 12 weeks. Therefore, we cannot issue an I20 for the Summer Term only (6 weeks). Instead, we recommend that you apply for an initial I20 covering both Summer and Fall terms, which is good for 18 weeks of study. The financial requirement for the 18-week study period is a minimum of $21,100.00.
