I have attended college outside the United States. Will UAA accept my foreign transcript?

You must arrange to have official college transcripts sent to UAA. If the schools for which you are submitting transcripts are outside the United States, you must also have them evaluated by an international credential evaluation service to determine that they are the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree in the United States. A list of such services can be found at International_Transfer_Credit_Evaluation.pdf. You must request that a second official copy of your transcripts be sent from your school to the agency you choose, and ask the agency to send an official evaluation directly to Enrollment Services.

How will UAA evaluate my level of English proficiency? What if I am not proficient in English?

Graduate applicants MUST take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and achieve a minimum score for admission into a graduate program.

Minimum TOEFL Scores:

• 213 on the computer-based test

• 79-80 on the internet-based test, or

• 550 on the paper-based test

Will I need or am I entitled to a student visa to enroll in this program?

No. Because there are no required face-to-face meetings, you would not be eligible for a student visa.

Is financial assistance available to international students to meet college expenses?

There are a very limited number of scholarships for which international students may be eligible. Visit www.uaa.alaska.edu/scholarships/  for detailed information.

Where can I get information about TOEFL locations and costs?

This information can be found at http://www.toefl.org .
