Next Steps

International students must submit the International Intent to Enroll Form in order to save their place at NKU. Additionally, undergraduate degree-seeking F-1 students (freshmen and transfer) must pay the $150 International Confirmation Fee.

Int'l Intent to Enroll Form

Int'l UG Confirmation Fee

NOTE: You should not use your MyNKU username and password to make the $150 payment; instead, you should create a new account for this payment.

International undergraduate students can not request an NKU I-20 until this confirmation fee has been paid.  This fee payment is required and is non-refundable. 

Once Step 1 is complete, international students will receive a confirmation email from isss@nku.edu with next steps for issuing their I-20. In order to best prepare for this, students are encouraged to visit our Getting Your I-20 page and prepare the necessary financial documents. Students will need to upload these documents in the I-20 Request Form that will be sent to their email.
