International Students
As a potential Lander International Student you will need to do the following:
- Complete an International Application for Admission
- Send Official School Records (transcripts, diplomas, or certificates of study in original language and English translations)
- TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score. We require a minimum paper-based score of at least a 550 or computer-based score of 213.
- Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores sent DIRECTLY from the College Entrance Examination Board (Lander's school code 5363) or the American Testing Program (ACT) (Lander's school code 8360)
- An affidavit of support indicating the source of funds being made available to the student to cover all educational and living expenses while enrolled at Lander(approximately $23,523 USD). This affidavit must indicate the amount of money being provided and the length of time the funds will be made available. If sponsorship is through an organization or government agency, the Office of Admissions should be notified directly by the sponsor of the terms of the scholarship support. In all cases, the students will be responsible for paying their fees at registration.
The International Admission's Officer reserves the right to request other information which may be necessary to evaluate the application.
All credentials for International Students must be submitted at least 6 months prior to term of enrollment in order to give this office and the United States Embassy's or Consular's Offices adequate time to process your VISA application.
Upon admission, a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20) will be issued. This form will be used to apply for an F-1 Student VISA. Holders of F-1 Student VISAS must enroll as a full time student (at least 12 semester hours) for every semester they are in the United States.
ALL International Students and their dependants residing in the United States must participate in the Lander Student Insurance program (approximately $920 per year) If you have questions concerning benefits/coverages of this plan, please contact Kitty Lewis at 864.388.8885. A health service fee is also required for the student for each term of enrollment.
