CIP Codes and Your Program of Study\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nSection 4 – Financials<\/h4>\n
The left-hand column has the breakdown of the cost for one year\u2019s attendance at ÌÇÐÄvlog. The right-hand column lists the funding information that you provided to ÌÇÐÄvlog on your I-20 application. Your funding will always match the cost of attendance. For example, if your yearly cost of attendance is $50,000 USD, your funding will also be listed as $50,000 USD, even if your sponsor is promising more than that<\/strong>. Department of Homeland Security regulations state that a student only has to show proof of funding for the length of a single academic year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFor students who submit an affidavit of free room and board – we will list the person who is promising you free accommodation as another financial sponsor. We will list in the I-20 remarks section that this person will be providing free room and board. Costs that are listed on the I-20 are estimates, this is not necessarily the amount that you will be charged. <\/span>We can never fully remove the cost of living from the expenses on the I-20. If you are not living on campus, the cost of living will not be on your University bill, but it must be listed on the I-20 as all students have to demonstrate to the Department of Homeland Security that they can afford to attend school and live in the U.S.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nNOTE for students with multiple sponsors<\/span>:<\/em> Generally only one sponsor can be seen on the funding line of the I-20. Do not worry, all sponsors are listed, you just cannot see them. Anyone who looks in SEVIS (including a visa officer) will be able to see all sponsors. If a student has multiple sponsors, all sponsors will also be listed under the remarks section.<\/p>\nSection 5 – School and Student Attestation<\/h4>\n\n- This section of the I-20 is required for validation of the document.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- The Designated School Official (DSO) who created the document must sign to verify that the student is attending the institution and maintaining their visa status.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- DSOs may electronically sign the I-20 and send it to the student electronically.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Once you have reviewed and verified all the information on your I-20, you MUST print the document to sign and date the “Student Attestation” section in blue ink, which will validate the document for use.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Your parent\/guardian only needs to sign IF you are under 18 years of age.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/h4>\nSection 6 – Employment Authorization<\/h4>\n
This section displays employment information ONLY if you have requested and been approved to work off-campus (CPT, Pre-OPT, Post-OPT, STEM Extension). If given employment authorization, this section will contain the type of work authorization granted to you including the status of your request, name and location of the company, and the length of the employment period.<\/span><\/p>\nSection 7 – Travel Endorsement<\/h4>\n\n- This section contains all travel signature endorsements provided by a Designated School Official.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Each signature is valid for one year<\/span> from the date signed and attests that the student is attending the institution and maintaining their visa status.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Form I-20 Page 3<\/h2>\n
Page three of your I-20 are the terms and conditions you are agreeing to when you sign your I-20. This page has very important information regarding your status and policies which you must abide by including visa application, employment, extensions, transfers, and re-entry. We recommend you read this page very carefully before signing your I-20 on page 1.<\/span><\/p>\n
