UMD charges a fee of $125 each semester for enrolled students requiring an I-20 or DS-2019 (for degree seeking students in J-1 status) issued by the University. Students enrolled in an academic program operating on the 12-week calendar, who require an I-20 or DS-2019 issued by UMD, will be charged a fee of $62.50 per term. UMD will use the revenue from this fee to enhance support for our international students to include improved academic support, expanded assistance for students transitioning to the U.S. and international student-focused cultural events to foster an engaged, supportive community.
