I-20 and Acceptance Letter Mailed
If you want the original hard copy documents, your admission packet and I-20 (if applicable) are ready to mail. Due to recent updates by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, acceptance packets that include a student’s I-20 cannot be picked up by a student representative or mailed to an address other than the student’s home address. This includes packages that are couriered.
If you would like a hard copy of your documents, please see below.
- OVERSEAS REGULAR MAILÂ Please note: regular overseas mail can take 4-6 weeks, there are no guarantees it will arrive and there is no tracking available when sent this way.
If you prefer this option, email international-ed@wiu.edu with the correct mailing address. Note, we cannot mail your documents to an agency's address.Â
