International Student Services

Complete Profile

CSS Profile is an online form for all degree-seeking international students to complete. It's a simple way to let schools know about your academic and financial background. It's also a great way to get in touch with schools that might be interested in you.

Exchange students from partner universities do not have to complete the CSS profile.

Hilbert College does not provide a fee waiver for the CSS profile. 

Complete I-20 Application

I-20 Application

The I-20 application is required to come to the United States as a student and to obtain a student visa. Please complete the I-20 Checklist Item in Slate with all required documentation. Once you have received your official I-20 from the PDSO, you will need to print the I-20 out and sign and date it. 

You will then create a SEVIS account and pay the I-901 SEVIS fee ($350). Keep the I-901 fee receipt for the visa interview (when applicable)."

Health Forms

Submit Medical & Contact Forms Mandatory

Please read through the following links carefully and be sure to submit ALL required documentation as early as possible. All forms are due by August 1st for Fall and January 1st for the spring semesters.

Is Health Insurance Required?

Health insurance is MANDATORY for student-athletes and on-campus resident students and are required to show proof of personal health insurance prior to moving into the residence halls. While Hilbert does not offer health insurance plans, students can view available plans through the Individual Marketplace as a result of the Affordable Care Act. For more information on the Marketplace options available to you, please navigate to https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/ and click on “Get Started.”

For questions about immunization requirements, insurance information, or any other health and wellness questions, please visit our Health and Wellness page or contact the Office of Student Life by phone at 716-926-8793 or by e-mail.

Students will not be allowed to move in to their residence hall until they have submitted all required health forms.

COVID-19 Requirements Mandatory

Following CDC and New York State Department of Health guidelines, our requirements for COVID-19 are subject to change. You can view our updated policies on our COVID updates page. All on-campus community members are required to be vaccinated. Medical and religious exemption approvals will occur within 48 hours of submission.
