Documentation for Students on Visa

Procedure for Obtaining I-20 Form

Doctor of Ministry Program Participants

If you are NOT a United States citizen and you reside and work outside the U.S., you are required by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service to have a student visa to come the U.S. and register for course work, even if it is only for a two-week duration. You will need an acceptance letter and an I-20 document, issued by Andrews University, to apply for a visa.

1. You must submit an estimated budget; please obtain this form from the...

- application package or
- PDF file or
- request it to be faxed or emailed to you (DMin office 1-269-471-3544,
  dmin@andrews.edu)

Information you will need for the budget sheet, with classes held at the AU campus as a basis for estimates; if your event is at a location other than Andrews, see information specific to that site:

Tuition	Doctoral rate per credit for 2011-12 academic year; reduce this figure by 62% if you qualify for NAD discounted tuition (you will register for 8 credits per year).	$1,032.00 per credit ($392.16 after 62% discount = $3,137.28 for 8 credits)
Books	estimated average; quantity of books varies	$20.00/book
Transportation	To-from South Bend airport, AU shuttle service	$30/trip
AU guest or dormitory room, with linens	Varies, depending on the accommodation you choose. See Guest Room Prices page for details.	$33-$60/day; linens may be $8 extra
AU Cafeteria meals	flat rate per meal	$5.50 Breakfast $7.00 Lunch $7.00 Dinner
Medical insurance	If you already have health or travel insurance, you may skip this item, but be sure you can present documentation for proof of insurance. (amount is approximate)	$80.00

2. Bank statement or letter of sponsorship; provide a bank statement that confirms you have the amount of money as stated on the "total" line of the budget sheet. If you are sponsored, request the sponsoring organization to fax a letter affirming sponsorship to the international financial advisor (fax 1-269-471-3228, email isfs@andrews.edu).

3. Fax the estimated budget sheet and bank statement to 1-269-471-3228.

4. Make a payment (two options):

a. If you pay by credit card, call the AU international financial advisor at 269-471-3834 to give your credit card number.
b. You can wire the money to the Student Finance Office (if you are not sponsored). YOU NEED TO SEND ONLY THE MONEY DUE FOR TUITION AND FEES.
