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.
Deadlines
All first-year candidates for admission must submit by the established deadline a completed First-Year Common Application. Saint Anselm College is an exclusive user of the Common Application (either the on-line or paper version). A non-refundable fee of $55 must accompany the application, unless a waiver is being requested.
First-Year Candidate for Fall Semester Admission Application Deadlines:
Early Action - November 15
Regular Decision - March 1
The Early Action Plan is a non-binding program. This plan notifies a student on or before January 15 if they have been accepted without requiring a non-refundable $400 enrollment deposit until May 1.
If you apply for the Regular Decision Plan, you should return all application materials to Saint Anselm College no later than March 1. Notification regarding acceptance is between February 1 and March 15.
Transcripts
Transcriptsin 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 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, is required for all applications. Students for whom English is not their native language and who are not educated in an English speaking school may want to take the English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT), which is offered by the College Board. All SAT 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 the College Board to send your scores directly to Saint Anselm College. Our CEEB code number is 3748.
Financial Aid for Non-U.S. Citizens
Financial aid is limited for students who are not Permanent Residents and/or citizens of the United States.
International students in need of financial aid must submit the following documents:
International citizens who need financial aid cannot apply for admission as early action candidates.
