International Student Admission

Who should apply as an International Applicant?

International applicants are individuals who are a citizen of a country other than the United States, and need a visa in order to study or live in the U.S. If you are a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident of the U.S., regardless of where you go to school, you are not considered an international applicant.

The Office of Enrollment is the best source of information and advice during the application process. Once you have been accepted, a representative from this department will process your immigration and other governmental documents.

In general, international students must meet the same admission standards as other applicants. View a PDF file of our Viewbook.

To Apply for Undergraduate Admission

To Apply for Graduate Admission

Certificate of Finances Form: Please DO NOT complete or send in the Certificate of Finances Form until you receive an admission acceptance letter and a Student Decision Form from the University. The Certificate of Finances must be received by the Admission Office with your Student Decision Form by the date indicated on your acceptance letter. This is a two page form and will not be processed without both pages completed.

Required Health Insurance

NDNU requires that all International students have accident and sickness insurance. International students must either enroll in the NDNU Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan or complete a signed waiver form and submit it to H&W Services prior to the first day of class on August 27, 2008. If the insurance fee appears on your billing statement, it means you did not waive its purchase. You will be covered by the policy and will be held responsible for payment. Download or review the 2008-09 NDNU International & Domestic Student Accident & Sickness Insurance Plan brochure. The cost of the annual premium is $1179 (Effective 8/01/08-7/31/09); Fall only is $536 (8/01/08 through 1/13/09); Spring/Summer is $638 (1/14/09 through 7/31/09); Summer only is $254 (5/18/09 through 7/31/09). To enroll or to complete the waiver form, download the 2008-09NDNU Insurance Enrollment and Waiver Form.
