Your Next Steps

Financial Aid
If you have not yet applied for financial aid, this is an important next step. If you do not intend to apply for financial aid, please notify your admissions officer directly or contact admissions@sit.edu.

Financial Aid applications and instructions:

Students must submit their enrollment deposit within two weeks of financial aid award notification.

The deadline for international students to apply for an I-20 visa form is July 15.

Submitting Your Deposit
For US Citizens and Permanent Residents
To secure your place in the incoming class, you must complete and return the Enrollment Form (PDF) with your $400 nonrefundable deposit payment within two weeks of your financial award notification. The deposit may be submitted through our online application system or by completing the Credit Card Authorization Form below.

Submitting Your Deposit
For International Students
International students must pay their first semester tuition and fees as part of their student visa process, therefore SIT does not require the $400 deposit payment for international students. International students should review the information concerning student visas and focus their efforts on completing the necessary steps to obtain their I-20 and student visa.

After You Have Reserved Your Place

Once you have submitted your enrollment form and deposit payment (US students and permanent residents only), you should begin completing the other necessary forms listed below. Please note that these forms will not be processed until your deposit payment is received or, for international students, until you have completed the required steps to obtain your I-20 form.

On-Campus Housing
For students who wish to live on-campus, the housing deposit form and $100 deposit payment are required.
