How long will it take to get an I-20?

Once all required documents are received and the application is marked as complete, the International Admissions team will review the documents and make an admissions decision within 1-2 weeks. The I-20 will be generated during the admissions process.

Application Submission

Please submit your application promptly to allow ample time for evaluation and the generation of the I-20. Although UCO does not have application deadlines for undergraduate applications, it is recommended that applicants submit their complete application at least 2 months prior to the start date of the new semester. This ensures sufficient time for visa application and pre-arrival preparation.

Deferral Request

For students unable to enroll for the semester they applied for, a Deferral Request Form is available on our website. The application fee is valid for one deferral or within 1 year; otherwise, a new application will be required.
