Admission Procedure

1. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

2. VISA

After we receive the above documents and application fee, we will send an I-20 (document) and a letter of acceptance. You will have to take the I-20 to the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate and submit an application for an F-1 visa along with an application fee.  For more information about obtaining a visa, please refer to the following governmental website: How to obtain a student visa for study in the United States

3. TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

After you receive your F-1 visa, you should make travel arrangements allowing you to arrive a few days before the first day of class. We will be happy to meet you at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston when you arrive and bring you to the Sam Houston campus if you let us know your flight number and time of arrival at least a week in advance.

Application should be made as far in advance as possible. If a student wishes to apply for study in the intensive English program, he/she should return the application materials to Sam Houston State University. The mailing address is:
