What's Next After Acceptance
(New Students)

After you've been accepted, the steps below will help guide you on what you need to do next as a New Wildcat.

• STEP 1   Create eWeber Account

  Once you’ve received your WSU acceptance letter, create your eWeber account.
  
  The eWeber portal is each WSU student’s online student portal. Your eWeber account allows you to:

  • Register for classes
  • Check your transcript
  • Use CatTracks to track your progress toward graduation
  • Access your student email account
  • Check your financial aid status
  • Pay tuition
  • Review your grades
     

  Create Your eWeber Account

• STEP 2   Pay Tuition Deposit

  All admitted F-1 international students must pay a non-refundable tuition deposit of $250 before an I-20 document can be issued.

  • This deposit will be applied to your first semester tuition.
  • If you defer your admission to the next semester, the deposit will be carried forward accordingly for one semester only.
     

  ** U.S. TRANSFER STUDENTS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PAY THIS DEPOSIT.

  International Application Deposit Instructions

  1. Access Deposit Payment Page
  2. Login to eWeber Portal
  3. Read and Agree to the Consent Page
  4. Select a deposit payment option as “International Student Deposit” from the dropdown field. Do not pay on any other option, or we will not be able to process your I-20.
  5. Click “Continue” and choose the payment method, following the prompts to enter your payment information and complete the transaction.

• STEP 3   SEVIS Fees & Visa

  At this point you should have received your admission letter and I-20/DS-2019. Your next steps are to:

  • Pay your SEVIS Fee online. Bring your receipt to your visa interview.
  • Apply and book a visa appointment for your visa interview.
     

  Preparing for Your Visa Interview

  • Your SEVIS fee receipt
  • Your Weber State acceptance letter
  • Your I-20 or DS-2019
  • Visa appointment confirmation
  • Visa appointment payment confirmation receipt
  • Passport: valid for travel to the US & validity date at least 6 months beyond your intended period of stay in the US
  • Transcripts, diplomas, test scores, financial evidence, etc.

• STEP 4   Orientation, Placement Testing & Registration

  1. Complete virtual orientation. This must be completed before you arrive on campus and before you can register for classes.
  2. Register for classes. Please contact your advisor or program of study for extra assistance. (It will be more challenging to find classes you want to take if you wait until your arrival to register for classes.
  3. Complete your English and Math placement remotely before arrival.
  4. Attend mandatory on-campus International Student Orientation, as a condition of your I-20. Please see your admission email with the time and location. 

• STEP 5   Housing & Transportation

  Once you have received your visa, you may apply for housing. Housing fills up quickly so we recommend applying as soon as possible. If you plan to live off campus, please make sure you make all the necessary arrangements as soon as possible.
