International applicants

In addition to the application for admission, the following are required:

• A transcript of high school courses and grades, translated into English
• Results of the SAT or ACT
• Results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), unless the student has attended a school in which the language of instruction is English for at least one year
• Declaration and Certification of Finances form
• For students being sponsored by agencies, companies, or other organizations, an affidavit of support, signed by an appropriate official, is required

Since the application process for international students requires more time than that for other applicants, applications should be filed early in the year. This allows for a thorough review of all credentials and the assurance that details for meeting immigration regulations are followed. International students are not eligible for financial aid.
