Admission Checklist
- Step 1: Complete your application and submit $35 application fee (if not a U.S. citizen).
- Apply early. Union uses a rolling admissions policy, which means applications are reviewed and admission decisions are made on a regular basis beginning each September. This means we continue filling a new class until there is no more space. For that reason, it's very important that you apply as early as possible.
- Step 2: Submit an official score report.
- Step 3: Official transcript evaluations are required in most cases.
- When you are admitted to Union University, you will receive a form I-20. This form, your passport, financial records and proof of your ties to your home country must be presented to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your country along with a completed Student Visa application form. Apply early enough to have a student visa in hand before International Student Orientation and the official start of the semester.
Submit an official score report of at least 80 on the TOEFL, 6.5 on the IELTS, 3.9 on the iTEP, 105 on the Duolingo, 22 on the ACT, or 1020 (combined critical reading and math) or 1100 (combined evidence-based reading and writing) on the SAT.
To request your ACT or SAT score report, go to actstudent.org (Union's school code is 4020) or collegeboard.com (Union's school code is 1826), respectively.
