International Admission Requirements
Applicants for admission who are not U.S. citizens are required to meet all the regular admission standards (freshman or transfer). In addition, the following are required:
- A score of at least 533 (paper-based), 200 (computer-based), 72-73 (internet-based) for undergraduate studies on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or successful completion of Level 109 at an English Language School (ELS) or level 12 at a Berlitz Language Program and an unqualified recommendation of the program director of the chosen language program. A Michigan test score of at least 85 may also be accepted in lieu of the other language proficiency options.
- Certified English translations of all transcripts originally prepared in any other language. (The student will be responsible for having the English translations evaluated by a professional transcript evaluator as determined by the University.)
- Proof of graduation from a secondary school.
- A certified document guaranteeing adequate financial support for at least the student's first year of study and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, adequate funding from the same or an equally dependable source, for subsequent years.
- For students transferring from a school in the United States, a transfer verification form.
- A physical exam, adequate medical insurance, and proof of immunization are required prior to enrollment.
All documents must be received by the undergraduate admission office at least three months prior to the expected date of entry. I-20 forms may be issued only after acceptance is granted and will remain in effect only for those who continue to make satisfactory progress as full-time students in an accepted program. The program length may vary for each student.
