Colleges & Universities Requirements

Admission requirements established by North American colleges and universities are very diverse and demanding. Academic, extracurricular, and personal achievements are considered in the evaluation of a candidate, usually including the following requirements:

• Academics Requirements.
• Aptitude Requirements.
• English Language Proficiency Requirement.
• Competency Requirement.
• Financial Requirements.

Since every institution in North America has different admission requirements standards, each individual will be advised and guided trough the specific admission process required by the recruiting institution.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

US Education Partner students, who have earned college-level course credits in their home country comparable to the course credits in the North American educational system, will be able to transfer those credits to the North American institution. Most institutions require foreign transcripts to be evaluated by a third party.

SEVIS

SEVIS is an internet-based system that allows American colleges and universities and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service to exchange and share information on the visa status of international students. Accurate and current information is transmitted electronically throughout an F-1 student’s academic career in the United States. U.S. embassies and consulates and ports of entry also have access to SEVIS.

MAINTAINING VISA STATUS

In order to maintain F-1 Visa status, US Education Partner undergraduate students must be completing at least 12 hour credits per semester, and at least 9 graduate level credits for graduate students. In addition to it, US Education Partner students must keep their I-20 current and hold a valid passport.

*Students wishing to start with an ESL program are NOT required to take TOEFL/IELTS. However, we highly recommend every student to take TOEFL/IELTS as a few ESL programs will require a minimum TOEFL/IELTS score. IT can only bring more options to the student!
