³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ

The ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ, the Graduate School, and the International Center are pleased to welcome you. We recognize that international students, representing over 100 different countries, bring perspectives that enrich our campus. We are committed to offering you educational programs and experiences that will enhance your professional development.

Admission Requirements

• Application Forms: International students must complete an online application. Further information is available on .
  
• Application Deadlines: Applicants should submit their completed application forms and all other required material well in advance of the semester they would like to start at ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ to ensure they are received before the deadline for international students, and these deadlines may be found online. The recommended deadline for international students for most programs are:
  • Fall - April 1
  • Spring - October 1

• Application Fee: The application fee is $30.00. The application fee must be in U.S. currency only (check or money order) drawn from a U.S. bank.

• Academic Records and Credentials Evaluation: Original transcripts from all institutions attended must be submitted directly from the foreign institutions to The Graduate School at ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ. All international transcripts must be in English and require a course-by-course evaluation by an approved third-party credential evaluation agency unless a graduate program has established an alternative credential evaluation procedure that is approved by The Graduate School. The evaluation agency must provide ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ with an original evaluation of all academic credentials. A list of acceptable evaluators can be found at the  website

If required for the selected program, students must provide official scores from the appropriate test.

Please note: It takes 3-4 weeks for official test scores to arrive at The Graduate School. These scores must be received before the posted application deadline.

• GRE Institution Code: 5490
• GMAT Institution Code: CF3QB51
• There are no departmental codes

• English Proficiency: Applicants from countries where the official language is not English must demonstrate proficiency in English. Visit the Methods of proving English proficiency website for more information.

Immigration Requirements

• Certification of Finances: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ to ensure that international students have sufficient financial resources before issuing a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20). All applicants must complete and submit an Affidavit of Financial Support and Bank Certification. The Affidavit is a document signed by the applicant's sponsor (the person who will be providing the funds) stating the amount of funds that she/he will provide for the educational expenses of the student applicant. A bank official then certifies that the sponsor does have that amount of funds in his/her account. This form represents an obligation on the part of the sponsor to provide the required amount of funds as indicated on the form. Please see Estimated Costs of Attendance for International Students on the ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ website to determine the amount of funds needed to be written on the Affidavit.

• Transfer Students: All applicants intending to transfer from another U.S. university must notify their current school so that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security transfer requirements can be initiated. A new form I-20 from ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ cannot be issued until the current school "transfers out" the applicant to ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ in the SEVIS program.

Health Requirements

Before students can enroll in classes at ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ, they must supply the following health certifications. These certifications are not necessary to apply for admission to ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ. However, once admitted, it is necessary to register for classes.

Students who have insurance coverage must have their insurance company fill out the "International Student Health Insurance Evaluation" form available from the ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ Office of Student Health Services web page. Students who do not have such insurance, can purchase insurance through the ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ Office of Student Health Services. Insurance coverage must include the full year, including annual breaks, regardless of the student's terms of enrollment. The policy must provide continuous coverage for the entire period the insured is enrolled as an eligible student. Payment of benefits must be renewable.

• Certification of Immunization: All students born after 1956 must meet immunization requirements of two doses of Measles and one dose of Rubella. Please refer to the "Immunization Documentation" form. This form is available on the ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ Office of Student Health Services web page.
