Completing Enrollment Requirements for International Students

To obtain your Form I-20, you're required to submit the following documents on the BYU International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) website.

Submit Admissions I-20 E-Form

In order to complete the required E-Form, you must complete the following:

  • Pay the $4,000 USD international student deposit by following the instructions on the International Student Deposit page.
  • Print the Affidavit of Support form and have your sponsor complete the form.
  • Provide the most recent copy of your and your sponsor’s (if applicable) bank statement(s).
  • Submit the Affidavit of Support form and bank statement(s) at ist.byu.edu.

SEVIS Record

If you're transferring from another U.S. institution, you'll need to transfer your SEVIS record from your current institution to BYU.

Upon submission of your Initial Form I-20 E-Form Request to International Student & Scholar Services, an automatic request will be sent to your current school DSO (Designated School Official) asking for the school’s required information to create your Form I-20. The DSO will independently submit the E-Form to International Student & Scholar Services.

Once all enrollment requirements are completed, ISSS will prepare your Form I-20 and release your registration holds.

Contact ISSS for further instructions.
