Declaration/Certification of Finances (DEC)

The appropriate Declaration/Certification of Finances (DEC) form must be completed after a student has been accepted to a Babson program and made a deposit.  The DEC, along with supporting documents, certifies that a student has the financial ability to pay educational and living expenses for the length of the program, or one academic year, whichever is shorter.  The original DEC and supporting financial documents must be submitted to the consular officer at the U.S. Embassy during the visa application process.  A copy of the DEC and any supporting documents must be submitted to the Office of International Programs (OIP) before before your Form I-20 or Form DS-2019  (the form you will need to apply for your entry visa) can be issued.

Please note that if you are certifying personal or family funds, a bank official from the account holders bank must either sign and stamp the original form or provide a letter verifying the amount of money in the account.
