Your Next Steps

  • Newly admitted Pace Pathway students are required to submit a deposit in order to reserve a place in the class. A Pace Pathways representative will contact you shortly regarding the process for deposits, housing, registration and orientation. You will receive an invoice for your deposit shortly and may also contact globalpathways@pace.edu for more details.

  • In order to apply for an F-1 visa, you need a Form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status). To qualify for the Form I-20, you need to submit scanned copies of the following documents to the email address indicated in the Financial Affidavit:

    • Financial Affidavit: A completed financial affidavit (PDF). Make sure both pages are filled in if you have a sponsor.
    • Official Bank Statement: An official bank statement, in English, indicating a balance sufficient to cover all of your expenses for one academic year at Pace (as indicated in the Affidavit).
    • A Copy of Your Passport

    If you are currently in the US in F-1 status, you have to complete the F-1 transfer-in-process, in addition to the above requirements to qualify for the form I-20 for transfer. Please notify your advisor at the ISSS office at your current school of your decision to transfer to Pace and ask them to complete the Transfer Recommendation Form and release your SEVIS record to Pace. If you are in the US in B-1/B-2 or F-2 status, you must change your status to F-1 before you can begin your program. If you need assistance, please contact the Office of Graduate Admissions at graduateadmission@pace.edu.

  • Once you have received your form I-20 from Pace, you need to take the following steps:

  • All students at Pace are required to have health insurance and are automatically enrolled in Pace's health insurance plan. If you already have comparable coverage, you may waive Pace's health plan by completing the waiver form and submitting it before the deadline.

  • Please have your health care provider complete the Immunization Compliance Submission and submit it by August 1, 2020.
