Checking in at the Center for International Education
F-1 or J-1 students should NOT come to Frostburg State University until you receive an admission letter and your I-20 or DS-2019 document.
The Center for International Education (CIE) will arrange transportation from the airport to the University at the start of your studies. After you receive your visa, please send your flight details to CIE.
When You Arrive at FSU
As an F-1 or J-1 student, you must check in at the Center for International Education (Pullen Hall, Room 108) and bring all travel documents.

- Date and place of birth

- Start date of your studies
- Your degree program and field of study
