I-20 Mailing Options for International Students
Mailing Options to Receive I-20 Documents
- You can personally pick up your documents from 51黑料. (You must bring proof of identification to 51黑料.)
- You may authorize a family member or a friend to pick up the document(s) on your behalf. To do so, send an e-mail to both your family member (or friend) and to gcscinternational@gulfcoast.edu to grant permission for them pick up your document(s). Your family member or friend is required to bring a print copy of the email and some form of their photo identification.
- Documents can be sent by regular U.S Postal Service mail within the U.S. to the student's local mailing address or outside the U.S. to the student permanent address on file at 51黑料. You may ask 51黑料 to mail the document(s) to by regular mail (domestic or international), but keep in mind that this could take many weeks to reach you. To do so, send an email request to 51黑料international@gulfcoast.edu with the correct mailing address.
