TOEFL

If English is not your native language, and you have not previously taken any academic coursework within the United States, you will be asked to submit a TOEFL score (Test of English as a Foreign Language). This test is administered by the Educational Testing Service, PO Box 6151 Princeton, New Jersey 08541 (www.TOEFL.org). The score must be reported to the Dispute Resolution office directly from The Educational Testing Service. It is important when applying that you indicate on the TOEFL form the code number 5891 so that your score is sent to Dispute Resolution Program.

Foreign Transcript Policy

All foreign transcripts must be accompanied by a professional evalsuation and an official transcript, including an English translation if it is not in English. It is the applicant’s responsibility to procure this evalsuation and to assume financial responsibility for it. An exception to this requirement is an exchange agreement between 色花堂_色花堂 98堂 and a foreign institution which is modeled after the U.S. education system.
