The international freshman application is available online. Please contact the Admissions office with any questions related to your application. International Student Services can assist you with any visa questions you have.
Any admissions requirements, including English language proficiency and final official high school documents (e.g. transcripts, examination results), must be submitted the quarter before starting classes. For example, if an applicant is admitted to Autumn quarter, all official materials must be received by the university by July.
Please note, documents uploaded with your application or sent as PDF documents via email are not considered official. Official documents must be submitted prior to applying for a visa. More information on submitting official transcripts can be found on this page.
Once your application is complete (including complete high school transcripts and a test score for TOEFL, IELTS, SAT or ACT), an application decision is typically released within 8 weeks. Please contact the Admissions office with any questions.
