International Student FAQs

Is there an application deadline?

The application deadline for international students is June 1 for the fall semester and November 1 for the spring semester. Students will need to allow plenty of time for mailings, gathering of required documents, acceptance, and application for the student visa and passport before the arrival date for international students.

Is it required that I live on campus?

As a residential university, TLU encourages all students to live on campus. All students are required to live in university housing, except for those students who are married, over 21 years of age, seniors, or commuting from home. TLU has both traditional residence halls and on-campus apartments.

Will I be living with American students?

Yes. International and American students are intentionally placed together to enhance cultural awareness and education. Many students have developed lasting friendships and have visited each other’s families’ homes.

If I have college coursework, does my transcript need to be evaluated?

Yes. All college transcripts must be evaluated by a transcript evaluator service. Approved evaluators can be found here.
