Next Steps – International Students

In addition to the checklist above, please review the following steps to ensure you’re ready for your semester with us.

  1. Financial Aid

    • International students are not eligible for federal financial aid and should not complete the FAFSA.
    • Some international students who qualify for Texas residency may be eligible for state-funded financial aid programs. These students should submit the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA).
    • The recommended method is the online eTASFA, although a paper TASFA is also available. Visit the Apply page on the Texas One Stop website for instructions.
    • Additional information about financial aid and scholarship opportunities for international students is available from Texas Global.

  2. International Student “Check-In”

    Before registration, you must bring your immigration documents to the International Office for Immigration Briefing and Check-In. You will meet with an adviser who will give you information and answer your questions about immigration, insurance, registration, U.S. social security number eligibility and other matters of importance.

  3. International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS)

    • The University’s International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) offers information, services and programs to admitted and enrolled students who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. Whether you come to Austin from your home country or from a school or university in the United States, you should become familiar with ISSS and its services.
    • One of the things ISSS will do is send you important information about immigration requirements and regulations. If you reside outside the United States, you must apply for a student visa to enter the country. After you submit the required evidence of financial support to ISSS, the appropriate immigration document (I-20 or DS-2019) will be sent to you.
