Application Checklist

  • The application deadline for international students is March 28 for the 2008 fall term.

  • Request official copies of your academic records from all secondary schools and colleges in which you are currently enrolled or have previously attended. Academic records need to be in English and notarized. Applicants from British-Patterned Educational Systems should present the General Certificate of Education, Ordinary (O) Level, Advanced (A) Level, or the Higher Education Certificate.

  • TOEFL or ELS Language Centers Level 112 for Undergraduate Admissions and SAT-I or ACT scores. It is very important that you request official copies of your TOEFL or ELS Language Centers Level 112 for Undergraduate Admission and SAT-I or ACT test scores be sent to the Office of International Admissions. TOEFL scores will only be accepted directly from ETS. If a copy of either the SAT-I or ACT is sent, it must be certified by a school official as a true and accurate copy of the original. No exceptions will be made.
  • Request one letter of recommendation in English from a teacher who can attest to your academic ability and English language ability in terms of reading comprehension, listening, and speaking.

  • Writing Sample/Personal Essay

  • A clearly readable photocopy of your passport, which is required to apply for a student visa. If you do not have a current passport, please notify us. (This will not delay consideration of your application for admission.)

We do not accept by fax or email any documents required for an admission decision. However, a copy of your passport will be accepted as an email attachment. All supportive documentation should be sent to:
