Admissions

Post University welcomes international applicants.  If your native language is not English, a TOEFL score above 500 (173 computerized) is required for acceptance to the University.  In addition to the standard admission requirements, international applicants must submit the following original documents to the Post University Office of Admissions:

1. An official English translation of all school records and proof of a high school diploma.
   
   
2. A "Declaration of Finances"  stating in U. S. dollars the amount of money available to the student for the first year of study, the source of income, and a declaration of acknowledgement that the inclusion of false information is grounds for dismissal from the University. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requires that international students have sufficient funds available to cover their tuition and living expenses for at least 12 months.
   
   
3. An official TOEFL score sent by Educational Testing Service (ETS). The reporting code number for Post University is 3698. Indicate this number on the TOEFL request form for official score reports so that the University can receive test results directly.

Once the required documentation has been submitted, the Office of Admissions will determine the student's academic admissibility.

Admission to the University

If you are admitted and financial support is certified, Post University will issue a Form I-20/Certificate of Eligibility, which the international student needs in order to apply for a United States F-1 student visa. Post University is currently enrolled in the DHS Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) for electronic tracking of international students.

Please note that you must pay the $200 SEVIS fee to DHS prior to applying for a visa. The process of applying for and receiving an F-1 visa varies from country to country and can take as long as three months.

The issuance of a Form I-20 and F-1 student visa constitutes a legal agreement with the United States Government. According to the DHS, the definition of an F-1 student is a non-immigrant that is pursuing a "full course of study" towards a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States. Once the educational or professional objectives have been attained, the F-1 student is expected by the United States Government to return to his or her residence abroad.

The F-1 student agrees to:

1. Maintain full-time enrollment at all times except during the summer semester. Full time enrollment is a minimum of 12 credits per semester.
   
   
2. Follow the proper procedures with an assigned advisor to: transfer schools, change educational levels and/or majors, or extend his or her program before any changes occur.
   
   
3. Engage in employment in the United States only with the express authorization of your advisor or DHS as appropriate.
   
   
4. Report all changes in status, including address, within 10 days, to the Admissions Office.
