International Student Admission

University of Holy Cross welcomes applicants from other countries. The University is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students who have had all official transcripts evaluated by an international student transcript evaluating agency and have had results forwarded to the Office of Admissions.

To be considered for admission to the University, international applicants must submit all of the following items at least six months before the intended semester of matriculation:

• a completed application for admission;
• official transcripts from each secondary and post-secondary institution attended (Note: transcripts must be translated by an evaluation agency—see the Office of Admissions for a list of companies—and sent directly by the company to UHC);
• acceptable scores on the ACT;
• official scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum paper-based TOEFL score of 550 or iBT score of 79 (the conditions of admission, as stated elsewhere in this Catalog, also apply to international applicants);
• a statement and supporting evidence of financial resources as required by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service; and
• complete immunization records.

For complete information and assistance in applying for admission to the University, international applicants should contact the Office of Admissions.
