Admissions and Application
* * *
* * *
The international student application process requires additional time
to complete, so we prefer to have all forms and documents in the Admissions
office by March 1 for fall (September) and October 1 for spring (end of
January). We will, however, continue to admit
international students as long as class space is available.
All documents are mailed to students via
United States Postal Service. Students wishing to receive
correspondence via express mail are welcome to establish an
account with University
Express Mail Services. On-campus housing is provided on a space-available
basis to students who are matriculating for an undergraduate
degree at the University and who are registering for 12 semester
hours or more. Graduate students (Master's Degree) are not eligible for
on-campus housing.
Attention
prospective nursing students: Students who have
a bachelors degree must have their completed application in by Dec 1st. Please be advised that the Nursing
Department at Salisbury University accepts applications for fall semesters
only. For more information, please view:

Otherwise, a professional course-by-course evaluation of all foreign academic transcript(s) is required. This professional evaluation will
determine your academic level within the American system of
education. The prospective student will be required to pay the cost
associated with obtaining the evaluation. The cost of a
course-by-course evaluation is approximately U.S. $100 to $150. The
following credential service has been approved by Salisbury
University.
Salisbury University does not necessarily endorse WES.
Obtaining an external evaluation service does not guarantee acceptance
or awarding of credit by Salisbury. However, it has been the experience
of the Office of Admissions that the university generally honors the
assessment of credit to be awarded by WES.
Chinese applicants are required to provide an
evaluation from the China
Academic Degree and Graduate Education Development Center (CDGDC).
- Proof of English proficiency. For
applicants whose native language is other than English, the Test of English
as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing

submitted to the Office of Admissions. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 on the

score is 6.5. The English language proficiency requirement may be satisfied
by alternative evidence. Please contact office of International Student and
Scholar Services for details.

complete all items on this form, and submit all required certifications. Any
missing information or certification may cause a delay in the evaluation of
your application. Certifications may be submitted on a separate sheet.
