Requirements for International Students

An international student planning to study at the University with a student (F-1) visa must satisfy the appropriate admissions requirements and procedures, demonstrate proficiency in the English language, and provide an affidavit of financial support. Academic records should include courses studied, grades earned, diplomas, certificates, and results of comprehensive national examinations. A certified translation of previous education records is required if the records are in a language other than English.

An applicant whose native language is not English may demonstrate English proficiency by submitting his or her scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), other testing, or a personal interview. English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are available.

The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS-USICE), approves Harrisburg University as an institution eligible for the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).

This approval allows an international student to apply for entry into the United States for study on an F-1 visa only after an “Affidavit of Financial Support” is deemed sufficient by the university and a tuition deposit payment of at least $1,000 toward the first semester’s tuition has been received. A USICE Form I-20 is then certified and submitted to SEVIS. The SEVIS application fee of $200 is then paid by the student directly to SEVIS.

Following entry into the United States and arrival at the university, the student will be required to provide a copy of the passport, I-20 Certificate of Eligibility, and the Form I-94 departure record to confirm all identification information in SEVIS.

An international student does not qualify for Federal and State financial aid but may be considered for institutional aid awards or private education loans through participating lenders.
