ON-CAMPUS ADMISSION
Students that intend to live on campus and attend in person classes should begin the admission process early. United States laws require us to register international students with SEVIS, a federal agency, and this takes additional time for processing documents. Once you have been accepted for admission and have received your I-20, you must make an appointment with your local American Embassy to obtain a visa for entry into the United States. The Embassy may schedule your appointment several days or even weeks after you receive your I-20.
Students wishing to be admitted in a fall semester should submit all documentation by July 1. Applications submitted after July 1 will be considered for spring semester admissions; it will not be possible to issue an I-20, deliver it to you, and have your Embassy appointment completed in time for the fall semester.
International Enrollment Deposit & Costs
Direct and Indirect expenses for an academic year at York University can average $15,100 USD. This includes the cost of tuition, fees, housing, meals, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses including but not limited to emergencies. Individual payment plans will be assigned for each international student based on scholarships applied and administered by the York University business office. The first payment (25%) must be paid in full in order for the I-20 form to be released to the student. This payment will serve as the enrollment deposit and will be used towards the student's account.
Once the deposit is paid, the housing form will become available to international students for completion. Students 23 years of age or older may apply to live off-campus.
