International Students
Students who hold passports from other countries than the United States may apply as international students. Students who hold both an American passport and a passport from another country are considered domestic students.
Admission into the University requires international students to demonstrate:
- Likelihood of academic success
- English language proficiency sufficient to undertake undergraduate studies
International students must complete and submit an application form and must also submit the following:
- Financial Resources Statement demonstrating the ability to pay for the first year of study, along with copies of official bank statements
- English Proficiency Test: TOEFL iBT 68, (North Park University’s TOEFL code is 1556); IELTS 6.0, or Duolingo 105.
- Photocopy of current passport and visa (if held)
- Documents, including transcripts and/or government exam scores, should be in English whenever possible. If an adequate translation is not provided, the student may be assessed a translation fee. International student transcripts may be evaluated by an independent company, such as World Education Services (WES), at the expense of the student.
An international student must maintain full-time status of 12 credits per semester.
Complete applications should be filed by June 1 for the fall term, which begins in August, and October 1 for the spring term starting in January.
