   Instructions for International Applicants
   

   1. Submit to the Office of Admissions college credentials, including transcripts, from previously attended high schools and/or universities/colleges. These records must be in English and bear the signature of an official of your school. This must be done prior to fulfilling other admissions procedures.
   2. Fill out the application carefully and completely.
   3. Attach to the application a $20 (U.S. dollars) check or money order made payable to Hilbert College. This application fee is nonrefundable. The $20 fee is waived if you apply online. 
   4. Return the application to:
      Hilbert College
      Director of Admissions
      5200 South Park Ave.
      Hamburg, NY 14075
   5. Once you have made a definitive decision to attend Hilbert, send a $50 (U.S. dollars) deposit, which is nonrefundable but applicable toward tuition, as an indication of your intent to register.
   6. Payment for the semester's tuition and fees, including room and board (if applicable), must be received before Hilbert will issue an I-20. International students entering the U.S. for the purposes of attending college must secure a passport from their government and a visa from the U.S. consulate. To apply for a student visa, a passport and certificate of eligibility (form I-20) is necessary. An I-20 will be issued to international students upon acceptance to the college and upon submission of the required financial and English proficiency documentation. The I-20 is a visa application and must be used with your visa, passport and other documentation to enter the U.S. Spouses and/or children of F-1 visa holders enter the U.S. on an F-2 visa and will not be permitted employment of any kind. International applicants must furnish a photocopy of the I-94 record and their visa stamp upon arrival on campus. In addition, if you hold an F-1 status and are currently in the U.S. you must furnish a copy of your current I-20.
   7. Return the completed health survey to the Office of the Vice President for Student Life.
