-
Can international students get financial aid?
Financial Aid through FAFSA is only available to U.S. citizens, therefore international students are not eligible for Financial Aid. We do not accept the CSS Profile at this time.
-
I went to a high school where the medium of instruction is English. Will you accept a letter from my school instead of English test scores?
No. Because we must gauge your ability to succeed as a UTulsa student individually, a letter from your school regarding their medium of instruction will not fulfill our English Language Proficiency requirement. You must submit results from one of the English Proficiency exams UTulsa honors.
-
I have not taken an English Proficiency test before. Can I submit an essay to prove my English language ability?
No. You must submit results from one of the English Proficiency exams UTulsa honors.
-
Can I live off campus to save money?
All undergraduate students are required to live on campus for their first and second year at UTulsa. First year freshmen are required to live in our residence halls. Second year students are eligible to live in on-campus apartments. After completing their second year, students may live off campus if they wish.
-
Can I work while I am a UTulsa student?
International students are eligible to work part time in on-campus positions only. Immigration law prohibits any one on an F or J visa to work outside of their educational institution. International students are not eligible to work in positions labeled ‘Work Study.’
-
How do I get my I-20?
After you are admitted to UTulsa with confirmation of your financial resources, the DSO will issue your I-20. Please make sure you have submitted the confirmation of Financial Resources Form and bank certificate showing a balance of total cost of tuition, fees and living expenses.
-
What do I do after I receive my I-20?
After you receive your I-20 (F-1) or DS-2019 (J-1) from The University of Tulsa, first pay your I-901 SEVIS fee (this is separate from visa fees), then follow the U.S. Embassy/Consulate’s instructions to schedule an interview for your visa. It is important to apply for your visa as far in advance as possible
