Section 1 – SEVIS ID & Biographical Information 

• Gives you your SEVIS ID number. Your SEVIS record and ID number are unique to you and stay with you if you transfer schools or change education level. 
• Unless your record closes or your studies are interrupted, you will have the same SEVIS number for the duration of your studies in the U.S. 
• Please review this section carefully to check for any discrepancies. Your information here should match your passport. 
• “Admissions Number” is always blank. 
• Preferred name, passport name, and legacy name may be left blank – they are not required. 

Section 2 – School Information 

• This section includes the school name, address, and school official information. You can use the information in this section while filling out the DS-160. 
• School Address 
  • Street: 201 Mullica Hill Road 
  • City: Glassboro 
  • State: New Jersey 
  • Zip Code: 08028 
• School Codes:
  • Glassboro campus: NEW214F00278000
  • Stratford campus: NEW214F00278001
  • Sewell campus: NEW214F00278002
  • Camden campus: NEW214F00278003
  • Mount Laurel campus: NEW214F00278004 

Section 3 – Program of Study 

• This section includes information about your level of education (Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctorate), your major and corresponding CIP code, and the program start/end dates. 
• If any of this information changes at any time (you change your major, need extra time to complete your program, etc.) you must contact the International Center to update your I-20 as soon as possible! 
• What is a CIP code?
  • The Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) code is defined by the U.S. Department of Education and will correspond with your major at Rowan University. 
  • NOTE: Sometimes, the CIP code name is different from your Rowan University major name because the CIP codes categorize majors at universities across the entire United States. It is okay if the major and CIP code on your I-20 doesn’t exactly match the name of your program. For example, the BS in Computer Science at Rowan will appear as “Computer and Information Sciences, General” on the I-20 because the CIP code is 11.0101. This will not impact your ability to receive a visa. 

Section 4 – Financials 

• The left-hand column has the breakdown of the cost for one year’s attendance at Rowan University. The right-hand column lists the funding information that you demonstrated to Rowan University on your I-20 application. The maximum we can enter for your funding amount is $100,000 regardless of how much you demonstrated, except for students of Osteopathic Medicine.
• Costs that are listed on the I-20 are estimates, this is not necessarily the amount that you will be charged.
• We can never remove or modify the expenses listed on the I-20. If you are not living on campus, the cost of living will not be on your University bill, but it must be listed on the I-20 as all students have to demonstrate to the Department of Homeland Security that they can afford to attend school and live in the U.S.  
• NOTE for students with multiple sponsors: Generally, only one sponsor can be seen on the funding line of the I-20. Do not worry, all sponsors are listed, you just cannot see them. Anyone who looks in SEVIS (including a visa officer) will be able to see all sponsors. If a student has multiple sponsors, all sponsors will also be listed under the remarks section. 

Section 5 – School and Student Attestation 

• This section of the I-20 is required for validation of the document.  
• The Designated School Official (DSO) who created the document must sign to verify that the student is attending the institution and maintaining their visa status.  
• Your DSO in the International Center will electronically sign your I-20 and send it to you via Terra Dotta.
• Once you have reviewed and verified all the information on your I-20, you MUST print the document to sign and date the “Student Attestation” section in blue ink, which will validate the document for use. 
• Your parent/guardian only needs to sign IF you are under 18 years of age.
