Important Travel and Immigration Dates
College Edge is offered in-person. First-year students participating in College Edge should use their autumn quarter I-20 to enter the U.S. There is no separate I-20 or different start date for students taking College Edge courses.
PLEASE NOTE: All international first-year students with an autumn quarter initial I-20 may enter the U.S. up to 30 days before the start date listed on the initial I-20 — no sooner than August 16, 2025. You should not travel to the U.S. earlier than August 16 to participate in College Edge.
If you receive a transfer pending I-20 from the UW, you are exempt from the 30-day entry requirement and you may return to the U.S. at any time. Please make your travel plans accordingly.
For more information about the I-20, refer to the New Huskies to-do list or email International Admissions at intladm@uw.edu.
