The international application deposit is a $100 deposit an admitted student pays before an I-20 is issued to an F-1 International Student for the term the student was accepted into. This deposit will be credited to the student’s account after payment by the drop/add deadline.
Note: Only pay on tab titled International Deposits. Do not pay on student account tab or we will not be able to process your I-20.
Beginning March 1, 2024, Students who pay towards their student account and not the International Deposit page as noted in the instructions will NOT be refunded and will have to make an additional payment to ensure their deposit is properly paid.
Read complete instructions before making deposit. Please note that your MyJaxState log-in is found on your acceptance email.
