Undergraduate International Students

Undergraduate Admission Requirements

Please submit an application first, then send all additional documents to us. (Do not send accompanying documents to us if you have not submitted an application first.)

Pay the $60 non-refundable application processing fee.

Please make sure that you submit your application and additional documents prior to the assigned application deadline. (Your application will be incomplete if you submit documents after the application deadline.)

Transcripts:

High school (secondary school) transcripts from each and every institution must be submitted for review. If your high school is outside of the United States and not accredited by a U.S. Regional Association of Colleges and Schools, we recommend (not required) that you use a "course-by-course" (not document-by-document) evaluation service to ensure that your transcript is evaluated properly.

These are the approved evaluation services:

College transcripts from each institution attended during high school must be submitted for review. If you have attended college after high school graduation, you are not eligible to be a First-Year applicant and should submit a Transfer application. If your college is outside of the United States and not accredited by a U.S. Regional Association of Colleges and Schools, we require that you use an evaluation service that does a "course by course" evaluation to ensure that your transcript is evaluated properly (if you do not submit, your application will be incomplete).

Student Finances and Visas:

Students that plan to enroll as part of an F1 program must submit documentation to the International and Postdoctoral Services Office (IPSO) through the AU International system. We recommend that students start the application process and submit additional documentation for the Form I-20 at least 90 days prior to the start of their intended semester to allow sufficient processing time for both admissions and visa documents.
