Admitted International Students

Next Steps

1. Complete your admitted checklist. Your checklist is personalized to you, and you can manage it in myIllini by clicking on your application for admission.
2. Obtain your student visa. Generally, if you're a citizen of a foreign country interested in studying in the U.S., you must have a student visa.
3. Submit your academic records. If you're a first-year student, you must provide official academic records for all years of school you reported, including official copies of all school certificates and external exam results. Official test reports for any scores you self-reported also need to be submitted. If we don't receive these by July 1 or if we find discrepancies, we'll rescind your offer and you won't be able to enroll.
4. Check in before classes start. Regardless of visa status, all international undergraduate and exchange students must report to International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) for check-in before classes start. Note that if you can't arrive and check in by the dates listed, you need to reapply for a later term.
