INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
The University welcomes applications for admission from
qualified international students.
Persons who have completed their studies
outside the United States must present all postsecondary school credentials.
Such credentials must include studies completed to date, marks or examination
results received, degrees, diplomas and certificates earned. Documents must
be authenticated or certified and those not written in English must be accompanied
by English translations.
Students whose first language is not English and who
attended educational institutions where all subject matter was not presented
in English must take and submit the results of the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 550 or submit a transcript showing
the completion of the highest level of an intensive English language program.
International students will be held to the same admissions policies as all
other applicants.
After acceptance is granted, a $100 non-refundable tuition
deposit, an International Student Agreement Form, and a certified Statement
of Support Form are required for the University to issue an I-20 Form.
English Language Requirement
Courses at the College are taught in English; therefore, all international
students are required to take English reading and writing placement tests
before registering for any courses. The tests are scheduled by the staff
in the Learning Center before the start of classes. If students miss the
scheduled testing session, it is their responsibility to report to the Learning
Center, located in Haggar Hall, before registering for classes. Based on
the results of the placement tests, students might be required to take undergraduate
ESL courses in reading and/or writing. If students need extensive English
preparation, it is College policy to have students complete an intensive
English program elsewhere before enrolling in any graduate program. All
fees associated with these courses are the responsibility of the student.
