Applicants who wish to enroll as non-degree seeking students must submit an application and may be required to provide evidence of academic readiness.

International Student Admission

International student applicants should have a complete application on file three (3) months prior to the start of the term in which they intend to enroll. In addition to the general application procedures, international applicants must also submit the following:

  • $100.00 application fee in U.S. funds.
  • Verification of graduation from a high school or secondary institution.
  • Official high school transcripts or certificates, certified in English.
  • Evidence of English language proficiency by meeting the minimum standards outlined in the English Language Proficiency Regulation.
  • A transcript evaluation (with GPA) from an accredited U.S. transcript evaluation agency.
  • A declaration of certification of finance demonstrating sufficient funds for the planned course of study. This must be supported by a statement from a bank, lending agency, or sponsor.
  • A $3,500.00 deposit (in U.S. dollars) is required for the Form I-20 to be issued. This deposit is applied to the student's account for educational expenses.

The Office of Admissions will notify applicants of their admission status in writing. All admission decisions made by KSU are final.
