A realistic financial plan is necessary for the issuance of an I-20 form. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS, formerly INS) requires Salt Lake Community College to verify that an international student has the financial ability to pursue an education in the United States. The following documents may be used to demonstrate financial ability:
- An official bank statement showing at least $18,900 in liquid assets (additional $4,000 required for each dependent) from the student or his/her sponsor (a sponsor is not required if the student has sufficient funds on his/her own).
- A financial statement (download, print and mail) signed by your sponsor and notarized.

Students who have attended a U.S. post-secondary school, college or university must submit official transcripts from that school.
Students who have attended a non-U.S. post-secondary school, college, or university are not required to submit transcripts, but may submit them for possible credit transfer. Official English translations must be included with all foreign documents. Faxed documents are not accepted. Foreign credit evaluations can be obtained through a company that does foreign credential evaluation such as Educational Perspectives at www.educational-perspectives.org.

Enrollment information for the SLCC plan for international students can be found at www.renstudent.com/slcc. If a student can show proof of comparable coverage through another source, the requirement to buy Renaissance insurance can be waived.
