Immigration Requirements for Newly Admitted International Students
All newly admitted international students are required to submit immigration documentation to the University, relevant to the nonimmigrant status they plan to attend under. All immigration documentation must be submitted through iTorero, the University's international student portal.
If you are planning to obtain F-1 or J-1 status, or continue your existing F-1 status, sponsored by the University of San Diego, you must submit all of the required documentation in iTorero before you can receive your graduate F-1 or J-1 Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 or Form DS-2019). If you are planning to attend the University under a nonimmigrant status not sponsored by the University of San Diego (for example: Fulbright students; individuals already in the United States on a work or dependent visa; etc.), you must submit the required documentation proving your status in iTorero in order to be able to register for classes.

The University of San Diego has partnered with flywire to streamline the tuition payment process for students utilizing overseas funds. With flywire, students are offered excellent foreign exchange rates, allowing them to pay in their home currency (in most cases) and save a significant amount of money, as compared to traditional banks. An email confirmation is sent to the student when payment is received by USD.
