International students and all students whose first language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and submit their score before a decision on their application can be made.  Arrangements for this test can be made through the Educational Testing Service. http://www.ets.org/

TOEFL scores are valid for two years.  If there is a questions about the applicant's skills spoken English after receiving a TOEFL score, he/she may be required to have an oral interview.  If it is necessary to conduct the oral interview by phone it will be at the applicant's expense.

International transcripts must be evaluated by an approved National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES)-  service to show:

•  U.S. bachelor's degree equivalency
• course-by-course evaluation
• final cumulative grade point average.

After the receipt of the official acceptance letter, the student should contact Paul Somoff, psomoff@scu.edu, for the I-20 documentation.  When this is complete he will turn it in to the International Student Services Office.
