International Students
All international students admitted to a graduate program are required to submit a separate application for the I-20, which is required for a student visa application. The I-20 is issued by the Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS). Applicants are encouraged to submit the application on-line. All supporting documents must be submitted by regular mail. The I-20 application requires proof of financial support to cover your expenses at Temple.
Applicants who are offered a full Teaching Assistantship or Research Assistantship by Temple are not required to show any additional financial documentation. All questions regarding the I-20 or student visas should be directed to:
