(Guidelines from the Online Application)

 

I.       Additional note for Int’l Applicant

Official Transcripts

  • International Colleges and Universities: Academic documents (transcripts, mark sheets, degree certificates, diplomas, examination results) from institutions outside the U.S. must be either originals, or copies certified by the issuing academic institution.

  • Academic documents must be marked with a seal or stamp and ink signature of an academic official of the institution where the courses were taken or the degree earned. RIT will not accept photocopies, faxes, notarized copies or notorial certificates. Each transcript should indicate years of attendance, subjects studied and the grade earned in each subject. A key to the grading system also should be included.

  • International applicants should include an official degree certificate along with their transcripts. Transcripts in a language other than English must be accompanied by an official translation provided by a professional translation service, or by the college/university issuing the transcript. All International students currently enrolled in a school in the U.S. must also submit an "International Student Advisor's Report" (SEVIS I-20 Transfer Form) which will be forwarded to you upon receipt of your application.

    Declaration of Finances & Official Bank Statement

    The Declaration of Financial Support Form and an official bank statement is required for international students who plan to apply for student F-1 visa status. Bank statements issued within the past six (6) months must be submitted before an I20 can be issued. Bank statements must be marked with the official stamp and/or seal of the issuing bank - notarized copies cannot be accepted. Bank statements must show the equivalent of at least $48,150 USD minus any assistantship and/ or scholarship monies you are awarded.

    In order to apply for a student visa, U.S. government regulations require international students to demonstrate that they have sufficient financial resources to meet the costs of tuition, fees, supplies, and living expenses for at least nine months of full-time study. International students who need to apply for a student visa must submit to RIT an original bank statement showing the amount available for their education.

    In addition, if the funds are not in the student's name, a letter of support from the person owning the assets is also required. In the case of support by a government agency or other organization, an original letter indicating the amount of funding and the period of time it is available is required. The applicant should request two original copies of these documents--one for RIT and the other set to take with them to the Visa interview. Once the student is admitted and these documents have been declared acceptable the appropriate form (I-20 or DS-2019) can be issued by RIT.

    Is an international credential evaluation by an authorized agency a requirement for international students and admission to RIT graduate programs?

    If you feel that your academic credentials are not the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree, we recommend an academic credential evaluation to determine the exact U.S. degree equivalency.

 

Acknowledgment and Verification

Once the application is received and reviewed, the Office of Graduate Enrollment Services will contact you to acknowledge receipt of your application, and tell you if any necessary items are missing from your file. Each graduate department makes its own admission decisions on its own schedule. You will be notified of your admission status as soon as possible.
