Students who need an I-20 must submit financial documentation for the length of their study. For example, students planning to study ESL one year would need to show $23,120 which includes the following:
 

• Tuition - $11,600 (4 terms) 
• Estimated living expenses (Room & Board) - $8,710

There is no tuition deposit or pre-payment requirement for ESL students before starting classes. Payment is due the first week of every ESL term. Students living on campus pay for room and board at the beginning of each semester.
 

Insurance

All international students must carry insurance with the following minimum coverages:

• Major Medical Coverage - US $100,000 (which includes emergency room care)
• Medical Evacuation Coverage - US $50,000
• Repatriation of Remains - US$25,000

Capital University automatically enrolls international students in an insurance plan meeting these minimum coverages. Any international student who wants to waive the Capital insurance and use his or her own insurance must bring proof of insurance with at least the minimum coverages listed above to the International Office. International students will pay for the Capital insurance until the request is approved.
There are two insurance periods: January–July and August–December. Students pay in advance for the entire period and can receive a refund for any full months remaining when they exit the university.
Insurance fees for the 2010–2011 academic year are:

• Student - $88 per month
• Spouse - $378 per month
• Each Child - $88 per month
