PROGRAM EXTENSION
F-1 students are required to have a valid I-20 in their possession at all times. If you will require more time to complete the requirements for your degree due to compelling academic or medical reasons, then you may apply for an extension of your I-20. Failure to extend your I-20 by the expiration date may result in a loss of valid F-1 status. You can locate your I-20 expiration date in Section 5 of your I-20.
Please submit the following documents to the ISA front desk, or see an ISA advisor during office hours or a scheduled appointment, no later than 30 days prior to your I-20 expiration date:
- Financial documentation showing sufficient funds for the period of extension. Detailed cost of attendance figures are available here. If you have F-2 dependents, please also show an additional $5000 for each dependent.
