International Students

Complete this step only if you attended college outside of the U.S. and want to transfer the academic credit received at your previous institution. Your transcripts must have a foreign course-by-course credential evaluation by an independent evaluation service that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, Inc. (NACES) or Association of International Credential Evaluators, Inc. (AICE). They must be sent directly from the agency to the Admissions office. Find a full list of NACES or AICE members.

• • You must submit official transcripts from each U.S. college attended.
  • You should not assume that you will receive credit for all courses you took at your previous institution. Transfer credit is determined on a course-by-course basis.
  • If you are on an F-1 visa and have studied at a US Institution(s), please send an official copy of all transcript(s) to the Office of Admissions.

Students who are non-native speakers of English, who transfer from an institution of higher education outside the U.S. where English was not the language of instruction, are required to submit an English language proficiency exam score from one of the approved providers below along with their foreign credentials. English language proficiency can be satisfied through one of the following ways:

• • TOEFL score report with a minimum score of 70 on the Internet-based test or 523 on the paper-based test.
  • IELTS score report with a minimum score of 6.0
  • SAT score report with a minimum Reading score of 480
  • ACT score report with a minimum English score of 17
  • Waiver granted to students from countries where English is the native language and/or the official language for academic instruction.
  • MELAB (Michigan English Language Assessment Battery) score report with a minimum score of 77

All new students (freshman, transfers, and others) attending in person classes will be required to submit a Certificate of Immunization prior to the first day of classes. The certificate will be kept on file and will be valid throughout the tenure of the student's enrollment.

Students who plan on enrolling in fully online classes may or due to conflict with religious beliefs may request an exemption on the immunization form located here.
