Planning

PLANNING

  1. What to Bring:Documents: Your immigration documents are official documents needed for entry into the United States. Make sure your passport, visa and I-20 (F Visa) or DS 2019 (J Visa) are in your carry-on items.
  1. Clothing: You will be arriving during the Texas summer.  You should dress in comfortable travel-clothes, but keep a light jacket if you get cold—it is not uncommon in the US to run the air-conditioning at very cold (20 Celsius) levels. Because US students dress “informally,” do not be too concerned about being “presentable” during the first days.
  1. Money: Travelling with some cash is pretty smart, but no more than perhaps $300 or significantly less if you are travelling with a credit card.  You can wire money for both your TCU costs and to open a bank account, but you must use your TCU ID number, using the following codes:

Swift Code: CHASUS33
ABA Routing #: 021000021 for JPMorgan Chase Bank
TCU Bank Account #: 1561678663
TCU Account Title: TCU Payments
***Note: Please specify student name and TCU ID number***
Request JPMorgan Chase Bank to FAX confirmation of payment to TCU (817) 257-7733
