Prior to being issued an I-20, incoming international students must supply evidence of having the financial means to pay for the expenses associated with attending school, including tuition, fees, books, health insurance and housing expenses. Ivy Tech is not a residential college and all students are responsible for providing their own housing and transportation. In many cities, a car is an important consideration.
