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
Students who are non-U.S. citizens are required to submit completed applications by February 1.

Country of Schooling
Students who attend school in the United States should complete the admission process as outlined under the Freshmen section. Students who attend school outside the United States (whether or not they are U.S. citizens) are required to complete the Application for Students Living Outside the United States .

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 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. Therefore, non-U.S. citizens who need financial aid are not eligible to apply to Saint Anselm under the Early Decision Plan.  Details regarding the application process are found on the Financial Aid Web page.
