If you want to bring your spouse and/or children to the United States, you will need to request a dependent I-20 from International Student Admissions and provide documentation of additional funds, as well as proof of your relationship.

Students transferring to UWRF from another U.S. college or ESL program must have their transfer authorized by International Student Services before they are eligible for employment.
