As a new incoming student from abroad you will need to return all international student paperwork for your visa.

All forms and supporting materials should be uploaded to your student portal or emailed to records@mica.edu by June 1, 2025 for the Fall 2025 semester.

The Immigration 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 form (download PDF) is required before an I-20 can be issued and it must be completed even if you do not plan to study under an F-1 visa.

If you already hold a valid F-1 Visa from another school and plan to transfer it to 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 you must also complete and submit the I-20 Transfer Release form  (download PDF) along with a PDF photocopy of your current I-20 form.

In addition to the Immigration form, please submit the required financial statement documents:

According to U.S. Immigration law, we must receive these documents before we can issue your I-20.

**Requests for deferral will only be accepted from November 15-January 15 for Spring admits, and April 1-July 1 for Fall admits. Defer requests will not be accepted outside of these windows.**

Students admitted for the Fall semester are allowed to defer to the following Spring or following Fall term. Students cannot defer their admission beyond one year past the term they were originally admitted for. At that point, they must submit a new application to be considered for admission to the College. If you would like to defer your admission to a future term, you will need to fill out the Admission Deferral Request form. This will serve as your official request to defer.

Planning to earn transfer credits?

For first year applicants, if you are planning on taking college classes at another institution during your deferral, and want to enter 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 as a transfer student, you will need to reapply as a transfer for your new term. You can learn more about the transfer admission process here.
