Saint Anselm welcomes international students and appreciates the diversity and perspectives they bring. Students who are educated outside of the United States and students who are not Permanent Residents and/or citizens of the United States must follow a slightly different application process. Please review the information below. We encourage you to contact our Office of Admission if you have questions or need assistance.

Saint Anselm College is an exclusive user of the Common Application (either the online or paper version).

Transcripts
Transcripts in languages other than English must include official and certified English translations and authentic verifying statements and signatures. A United States Embassy or Consular official should attest to final verification.
Required Tests
If the language of instruction in your school is English, the SAT I or ACT is required. If you have attended an English speaking school for less than two years, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required.
If the language of instruction in your school and the language spoken at home are other than English, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), rather than the SAT I or ACT is required for all applications. All SAT I, ACT, and/or TOEFL examinations taken through January of the senior year are acceptable. Tests taken after January are not acceptable since the results arrive too late to be included in the decision-making process. When registering to take the tests, you must request that College Board send your scores directly to Saint Anselm College. Our CEEB code number is 3748.
Financial Aid for Non-U.S. Citizens
Saint Anselm requires all international students seeking financial assistance to complete and submit the CSS Profile and the International Student Certificate of Finances. All documents must be signed by you and a parent or guardian supporting you. You must provide income verification from a banking authority, translated into English and converted into US dollars.
If you are not seeking financial assistance, you must complete and submit the Certificate of Finances. It must be signed by you and a parent or guardian supporting you. You must provide income verification from a banking authority, translated into English and converted into US dollars.
