All international students will be required to take an institutionally based English exam within a few days after their arrival on campus and prior to their registration for courses, regardless of the TOEFL, IELTS, ACT or SAT test scores received.  The outcome of this exam will determine if the student will be placed in an Intensive English Program (IEP) or in the regular academic program.  This is to ensure the student a greater degree of potential success within the academic program.  For more information on the Intensive English Program (IEP), go to: http://www.ucumberlands.edu/admissions/international/english.html

Once an international student has been admitted to the university, and before an I-20 form can be issued, the student must submit advance payment for tuition, room and board and student insurance costs, minus the financial aid they will receive. You will need the I-20 form to apply for your student visa. Please contact the Director of International Relations for questions or further details.
