International Students
Students who are not United States citizens or permanent residents should submit the following for admissions consideration:
- Admissions application and essay
Applicants may use the Common Application, a shared online application used by hundreds of colleges and universities. Also, a downloadable click-and-print application is available. (Please note: Adobe Reader is required to view the click-and-print application.)
- Official secondary school transcript
Your secondary school transcript must be translated into English with a grading scale attached.
- Official TOEFL, ACT and/or SAT scores
You must submit official scores from one of these exams for admissions consideration.
- Counselor Evaluation and Recommendation
If you submit an online Common Application, your secondary school counselor can submit a recommendation via the Common Application system. Otherwise, your secondary school counselor can complete the Counselor's Evaluation and Recommendation. If you are a transfer student but graduated from secondary school within the past year, your counselor may provide one of your recommendations.
- Teacher’s Evaluation and Recommendation
Ask a teacher with whom you have had class within the past two years to complete a recommendation. If you submit an online Common Application, your teacher can submit a recommendation via the Common Application system. Otherwise, your teacher can complete the Teacher's Evaluation and Recommendation. If you are a transfer student, please have two college or university instructors complete a recommendation unless you graduated from secondary school within the past year. In that case, a secondary school counselor may provide one of your letters of recommendation.
- Official college transcripts (if applicable) – If you have taken college or university courses during secondary school, you should provide a final official transcript of that coursework.
Verification of Financial Support
International students who meet the university’s admission criteria must provide verification of financial support as well as a deposit of the first term’s tuition, fees, and room and board before the federal I-20 can be issued.
Cost of Attendance
Scholarships and Financial Aid
International students may be eligible for merit-based scholarships. Only United States citizens or permanent residents are eligible for consideration for need-based financial aid.
Year-Round Study
Students who plan to remain in the United States during the summer and attend summer school at Transylvania should budget additional money for expenses.
