Financial Information for New Students

Students planning to attend UT in F-1 or J-1 status must request a Form I-20/DS-2019. Upon being admitted, students will receive a welcome email from Texas Global with instructions for using myIO. This online system will be used for submitting financial documentation and other information needed to issue the Form I-20/DS-2019.

When requesting the Form I-20/DS-2019, students must provide proof of sufficient funds.

  • Students requesting F-1 status must provide proof of funding to cover the estimated expenses for their first academic year of study.
    • Proof of funding must include all of the F-1 student's school and living expenses.
    • Proof of funding must include living expenses for any accompanying F-2 dependents.
  • Students requesting J-1 status must provide proof of funding to cover the estimated expenses for the full length of their program of study.
    • Proof of funding must include all of the J-1 student's school and living expenses.
    • Proof of funding must include living expenses for any accompanying J-2 dependents.
    • At least 50% of the J-1 degree-seeker's funding must come from institutional or government sponsorship (this requirement does not apply to J-1 exchange students).

While there is no specific deadline for students to submit their financial documents in myIO, this information should be submitted in a timely manner to initiate the I-20/DS-2019 issuance process.

Option III/Executive Programs

Executive Programs have a different tuition structure than other degree programs at the University. Please refer to the costs below regarding how much funding will be required for I-20/DS-2019 issuance.

  • The calculation includes tuition for your program plus additional ISSS fees (such as health insurance and the ISSS Support Services fee).
  • The calculation is based on one year of expenses. If your program duration is for more than 12 months, you should expect to pay more than the estimated amount.
  • The calculation does not include summer ISSS or health insurance fees.
  • You will need to add estimated annual living costs of $20,500 to the tuition amounts.

Once you have identified your costs, you can provide financial documentation equaling that amount in myIO.

The sponsorship letter (also commonly known as a financial guarantee letter or Terms of Appointment) should be on official letterhead and issued by the sponsoring entity, most commonly a government, company, or other organization. If your primary funding is from one of these sources, you may be classified as a sponsored student at UT. This letter must confirm the details of your sponsorship, including amount of tuition coverage and living stipend, or total amount of award provided.
