International Students

International students follow all of the procedures outlined under "Admission for the Fall Semester," and submit the following additions:

  1. Official TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System) scores. Official SAT or ACT scores may be submitted in place of the TOEFL.
  2. A Certification of Financial Resources submitted with official documentation from a financial institution or government official stating ability to meet all expenses for nine months of study, exclusive of travel.

International students must be prepared to accept full financial responsibility for their studies and residence while at the university. An I-20 form will be issued to international students after they have been accepted for admission. All international students must carry special health insurance. The university is required to inform the Department of Homeland Security via SEVIS when an undergraduate F-1 or J-1 student:

  1. carries fewer than 12 hours in any semester,
  2. attends class to a lesser extent than normally required, or
  3. terminates attendance before completion of the semester.

The above behavior may result in students’ expeditious return to their native country. Questions about these requirements should be referred to the International Student Advisor. International students enrolling in graduate business programs should refer to the graduate business section of the Bulletin.
