International Students: Special requirements

If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident, ask the Office of Admissions to send you its special information and an international application for international students. In addition to satisfying the regular requirements for admission, you must provide documented evidence of adequate financial support to meet educational and personal expenses.

The prescribed method tor demonstrating English proficiency is the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The TOEFL is required for freshman, non-native English speaking applicants who completed secondary school outside the U.S. Secondary School system, or who completed high school within the U.S. Secondary School System, but fail to meet any one of our specific requirements for regular freshman admissions. The TOEFL is also required of the transfer applicants who lack credit for College Composition I (ENGL 1101). A minimum total score of 500 is required for admissions consideration. In addition to the TOEFL, international students must provide official SAT I scores. The test scores should be forwarded directly from the testing agencies to the Office of Admissions.

All international academic post-secondary transcript(s) must be forwarded to the following agency for a "catalog match" evaluation before the Office of Admissions can process your application for admissions.

Because additional processing time is required for international students, you should submit the application and all supporting documents at least 90 days prior to the desired semester of entrance. The Certificate of Eligibility (Form 1-20) cannot be forwarded to you until an offer of acceptance has been extended.
