Visa Requirements
Students applying for an F-1 or J-1 visa are required to show that they have sufficient funds to provide for their educational, living and personal expenses for one year before Loyola University will issued the necessary I-20 document for a student visa.
Students studying under an F-1 or J-1 visa must maintain full time enrollment during the academic year (excluding the summer session). To maintain full time enrollment students studying under an F-1 or J-1 visa must register for nine or more credits each semester. Some students in the United States on other types of visas may be eligible for part-time or full-time study. However, students cannot enroll with a tourist (B-1/B-2) visa.
U.S. embassies and consulates around the world require varying amounts of time to process visas. All applicants should confirm with the consulates or embassies in their home country the current visa procedures. For the location of the consulate close to you consult the US embassy website.
