I-20 Forms
We are happy to provide I-20 forms for new students seeking F-1 visas. In order to provide this service, we must have the correct documentation. Undergraduate students work with the International Admissions Office to secure an I-20. Graduate students receive I-20's through DePaul CDM.
International students requesting an I-20 must submit current* financial Documents which include:

- A permanent international address.
If you are transferring from another US college, university or institution, you must also complete and submit the Transfer Release Form and provide us with a copy of your current I-20.
*Current financial documents must be dated no earlier than 6 months prior to the start of the entry term.
