Admission of International Students

International students seeking admission to Edgewood College for the first time must submit the following, in addition to the information necessary for domestic first-time and transfer students:

1. Official copies of high/secondary school and all college/university transcripts and certified translations into English of all transcripts not originally in English.
2. For non-native speakers of English, verification of English proficiency through one of three ways:
   1. TOEFL of 71 internet-based; 197 computer-based; 525 paper-based.
   2. Letter of recommendation from an ESL school recognized by Edgewood College.
   3. Successfully completing at least 12 credits of college-level academic work at another college or university in the United States.
3. Transfer students must submit their transcripts to an educational credential evaluation service recognized by the college for a course-by-course review so that credit transfer may be determined.
4. Verification of ability to pay for the cost of attendance (both direct costs, such as tuition, fees, and books and indirect costs like insurance, transportation, etc.). This figure is determined annually. Ability to pay can be documented through a combination of assets and income.
5. If educational expenses will be paid by a sponsor, a notarized affidavit of support signed by that sponsor is required.
6. Applications will not be considered after July 15 for the start of the Fall semester or November 15 for the Spring. All priority admission deadlines also apply to international students. Applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, as it may take weeks or months after the issuance of the I-20 form to receive a visa.

General admissions deadlines apply to students who do not need I-20 forms (i.e., they are here on another visa, are permanent residents, etc.) and re-entry students.
