International students

We review applications throughout the academic year on a rolling basis. To be considered for admission, please submit the following documents:

1. St. Norbert College application or Common Application
2. Official high-school/secondary-school transcripts (with English translation)
3. Proof of English language proficiency
4. Personal statement

Students transferring from another university must provide their official records.

• From U.S. schools: Mail official transcripts directly to SNC.
• From schools outside the U.S.: Mail official transcripts and a course-by-course transcript evaluation by a NACES-approved credential evaluation service.

You will receive your admission decision within two to four weeks of submitting your completed college application. Following acceptance, all international students are required to provide supporting documentation to verify adequate funding to pursue studies at SNC. Please follow these steps:

1. Submit a copy of your passport photo page.
2. Apply for need-based aid by submitting the SNC international grant application.
3. Submit the financial sponsorship form and provide evidence of financial support.

If you have been accepted and provided the required financial paperwork, you are well on your way to becoming a Green Knight!

The international admission office is here to help you every step of the way, from application through enrollment. Please complete these tasks as soon as possible:

• Confirm your intent to enroll at SNC by accepting your admission offer.
• Review your I-20 admission package, pay your SEVIS fee and schedule your visa interview appointment.
• Email a scanned copy of the U.S. visa when obtained, to SNC.

Additional proficiency options

• Students are deemed proficient in English if they have attended and completed an American international school abroad with passing grades in English courses through the third year by the time their SNC application is reviewed, with an anticipated completion of English courses in the fourth year.
• Students may be waived from the TOEFL or IELTS requirement, based on academic records, if they graduate from an English-only secondary school or an IB program.
• Students don’t need to submit proof of proficiency if they have completed two semesters of U.S. college English coursework, with a grade of ‘B’ or better.
• Students who have obtained an undergraduate degree or graduate degree from a recognized institution where English is the language of instruction don’t have to provide proof of proficiency.

Exemptions

Some students are not required to provide proof of English language proficiency. Find your country on the table below to determine what paperwork you must submit when applying to SNC.

The decision to waive the standard requirement for language proficiency is at the discretion of the International Admission Committee, and is based on the strength of the student’s academic performance. It is therefore recommended that you take either the TOEFL or IELTS test as part of the application process if your first language is not English.
