We invite international students who will complete secondary school to apply to Augustana. Transfer students and non-degree (study abroad) students are also welcome. Admission is granted to those who have excellent academic promise and a score of at least 550 on the TOEFL exam or equivalent scores on the IELTS or EIKEN exams.

Augustana operates on a “rolling” admission process, meaning that from October 1 through August 15, we will evaluate your application file and make an admission decision as soon as it is complete. There is no fee to apply.

Students who apply prior to March 1 will have an advantage in terms of scholarships, securing an American roommate, choosing their classes, as well as plenty of time to secure a visa in their home country. We accept applications up to a year in advance of the term you are planning to enroll and recommend that you complete the application process below no later than two months in advance.

To be considered for both admission and scholarships, please send the following to Augustana:

1. Completed Application for Admission for international students.
2. All secondary and post-secondary transcripts and/or national exam scores.
3. One letter of recommendation from a teacher or professor.
4. A Personal Statement (250 words minimum) in which you describe yourself and your goals for college.
5. English Language Test Scores and/or College Preparation Test Scores from one or more of the following tests:
   • TOEFL (Augustana’s Institutional Code is 6015)
   • IELTS
   • EIKEN
   • SAT (Augustana's Code is 6015)
   • ACT (Augustana's Code is 3902)
6. Financial Statement showing sufficient resources to support yourself for one academic year.
