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;
• Complete a transcript verification with World Education Services
• Official copes of ACT and/or SAT I scores;
• 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 520 on the written
     version, 190 on the computer version or 68 on the internet based test.
  2. Completion of approved ELS English language program will meet the TOEFL requirement

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 imperative to begin working with World Education Services early in the application stage.  All necessary documentation required for the transcript / credential evaluation is listed on their site.  Questions concerning this process should be directed with a representative with WES.  You can reach them by phone at 212-966-6311.

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).
