Visa Requirements
Students applying for an F-1 or J-1 visa are required to show that they have sufficient funds to provide for their educational, living and personal expenses for one year before the University of Miami will issue the necessary I-20 document for a student visa. Additional information is contained within the application for admission.
Students studying under an F-1 or J-1 visa must maintain full-time enrollment during the academic year (excluding the summer session). To maintain full-time enrollment, students studying under an F-1 or J-1 visa must register for nine or more credits each semester. Some students in the United States on other types of visas may be eligible for part-time or full-time study. However, students cannot enroll in classes under a tourist (B1/B2) visa.
Embassies around the world require varying amounts of time to process visas. We recommend that all applicants confirm with the consulates in their home country the visa procedures currently in force. If you do not know the location of the consulate closest to you, consult http://usembassy.state.gov/
All international students are required to enroll in the University sponsored health insurance program. The annual premium for this coverage is added to each student's fees.
