International students are admitted either individually or under exchange agreements with partner universities. The individual route:

• Choose a programme and fill in the online application form, attaching a colour copy of the passport's first page (passport valid for at least 18 months after the start of studies)
• Sign the Learning Agreement sent by the International Students Recruitment Office
• Pay the tuition invoice (per semester or per academic year, depending on the programme)
• Receive the invitation letter for the Russian visa, issued within 30-45 days
• Contact the student support office at least 14 days before arrival and register with the university within 3 days of arriving in Krasnoyarsk

All international students are housed in SibFU's on-campus dormitories (the campus has 30). Rooms are for two to five people, who share bathroom and kitchen facilities; students cook for themselves or eat at the university café. Accommodation is coordinated by the school the student is admitted to, and dormitory rules ban smoking, alcohol, drugs and noisy parties. Living in a dormitory also simplifies the migration registration paperwork. At the start of each term the university runs a free bus for new students from the airport.
