INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Follow these important steps to complete your application for undergraduate admission:
- Complete and submit the online application.
- Submit official transcripts from all colleges previously attended (In some cases, records may need to be translated and/or evaluated by an outside agency. If this applies to your record, Loyola will contact you about the process and any fees involved.) In order to expedite the process, you can submit an official copy of your transcript and the catalog match request form to Educational Perspectives and request a Catalog Match Evaluation Request to be sent to Loyola.
- If you have completed less than 20 credits of college work, please submit all high school transcripts and official copies of your ACT (code: 1064)/SAT (code: 1412).
- If applicable, submit official information about AP/IB credit to Loyola electronically.
- Upon admission, you must submit an enrollment deposit to reserve a place in the class.*
- If your native language is not English and/or if your primary language of instruction has not been English, you will be required to take the TOEFL or IELTS (visit the TOEFL orIELTS Web sites for more information). You must score a minimum of 79 on the TOEFL exam or 6.5 on the IELTS. (For tests taken prior to 2006, the minimum score required is 550 on the written test or 213 on the computer-based test.) Exceptions will be made on an individual basis.
- If you are an F-1 or J-1 student, complete the Declaration and Certification of Finances form and submit it with proof of financial resources showing your ability to cover expenses for your first year at Loyola.
- In some cases where access is a concern, the SAT or ACT may not be required. Exceptions will be made on an individual basis.
*Please note that our class may fill prior to January 1 (Spring) or June 1 (Fall). Enrollment deposits are refundable until the last day before classes begin.
