In order to submit this documentation, you must have access to MyUWF. If you have not already activated your account, you can do so following the instructions at Activating your MyUWF/ArgoNet Account.
Search for "Proof of Identity and Financial Support for Immigration" in MyUWF. Then, click on the app.
Once you have clicked the app, a page opens asking you to complete the form. Click "Complete Form."
After clicking "Complete Form," you are taken to the start of the form. Your name. date of birth, student email, and UWF ID should automatically load. If it does not, please contact international@uwf.edu for help.
