The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services regulations require that all international applicants demonstrate their ability to meet all living and educational expenses for the entire intended period of study for the university to issue a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 AB or DS-2019).

If the applicant is married and plans to bring a spouse and dependent children to the United States, additional funds are required to cover the expenses of the spouse and children.

The Wayne State University Office of Undergraduate Admissions will not issue the Certificate of Eligibility until the applicant has

1. provided evidence of acceptable English proficiency (undergraduate students may attend the English Language Institute)

2. provided evidence of adequate financial resources

3. received a positive admission decision

In addition, if admitted, the applicant will need to prove to the US Consulate officer in the home country that there are sufficient funds to cover the first year of study.
