The following visa requirements apply only to students who have submitted applications to Stanford Summer Session. Other summer programs on the Stanford campus have their own visa requirements which may differ.

The process to Obtain an F-1 Student Visa

The first step in the process of attending Stanford for the summer is to apply. If offered admission, the next step is to complete an acceptance process. This process includes the submission of the following three documents:

Declaration of Finance: An online form completed as part of the Stanford Summer Session acceptance process.

Proof of Funding Document: A letter or statement from your financial institution or from your family’s financial institution, verifying that there are funds sufficient to cover the program’s full cost as stated in the Declaration of Finance. This document must be shown in U.S. dollars. We will also accept documents with the financial information listed in local currency, if necessary. It is recommended that you request two originals of this document: one to submit to Stanford and one to bring with you to your appointment at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. When funding for the program comes from a source other than you (e.g. parent, company, or agency), the Stanford Summer Session office requires a short message from this source explaining that funds held in their name will be used to cover program costs incurred by the applicant.

Current Passport Photocopy: A copy of the identification page(s) of your passport.

Once all acceptance items have been received and you have been assigned a Stanford ID number, Stanford University will generate your I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant F-1 Student Status).

After you receive your I-20, the following items must be completed by the student in order to obtain an F-1 Student Visa:

Pay the SEVIS fee to the U.S. Government and obtain a receipt. Go to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) SEVIS I-901 website for information about the process, including details on how to pay the SEVIS fee online.

Arrange an F-1 Visa appointment at your local U.S. Embassy or Consulate after you have received an I-20 and paid the SEVIS fee. You should follow the guidelines of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate for requesting an F-1 Student Visa. The appropriate visa application fee will be assessed at the time of the appointment. You should plan ahead and allow plenty of time for this process to occur. To attend Stanford Stanford Summer Session, you must arrive on campus on Saturday, June 18, 2024.

Present the following items at the visa Appointment:

Original I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant F-1 Student Status)
