Office of Admission - Applying as an International Student
. 


Students applying for admission to Union College who are not citizens of the United States, and who are not classified by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) as residents of the United States, are considered to be International Students. The following items must be submitted directly to the Office of Admission:

  • The completed international application for admission;
  • A non-refundable $20 application fee;
  • Official, sealed transcripts from all high schools and colleges/universities
    attended;
  • Official copes of ACT and/or SAT I scores;
  • Official English translation of all transcripts in other languages;
  • Official statement of financial support from the student's bank or accountant,
    providing evidence that the student will have the necessary financial support
    throughout his/her studies at Union College;
  • English language proficiency is required for all international students. All
    international applicants whose home country does not have English as an
    official language must submit one of the following:
    1. Official TOEFL score. Minimum requirement is 550 on the written
      version or 212 on the computer version.
    2. Official Michigan Test score. Minimum requirement is 80.
    3. Completion of approved ELS English language program.

Letters of recommendation, with the necessary English translations, are strongly encouraged.

In order to be considered for admission for the Fall semester, the above items must be received no later than May 15. For admission for the Spring semester, the deadline is October 15.

It is the applicant's responsibility to provide official English translations of all
documents submitted in other languages. These translations must be original
documents bearing the signature and seal of the translator or agency, and they must
be literal translations, not summaries or interpretations of the original documents.

When the international applicant has been admitted to the College, a form I-20 will be
issued. If a student uses this form I-20 to enter the United States, he/she is obligated
to attend Union College. Once the student enrolls at Union College, he/she is
obligated to stay for at least one year. The student must also maintain a full course of
study (at least 12 semester hours per term).
