In order for the University to process the forms necessary for the J-1 (visiting scholar) visa, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Department of State requires that we ensure all potential exchange visitors have sufficient funding for their time of stay in the United States. The minimum amount required to prove sufficient funding is $2,500 USD a month for the duration of your stay. 

*The Wellness Fee provides student use of on-campus recreation facilities and activities. Law students have the option to waive the Wellness Fee. To access the waiver, log into WIN > Personal tab > Wellness Waiver. Students who elect to opt out of the wellness fee will not have access to campus wellness, recreation and fitness facilities, equipment, and related programs such as intramurals and club sports. Students electing to waive this fee must actively request the waiver each semester.

Fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change.
