The University looks for international students who have successfully completed their country's full sequence of preparatory studies and examinations required for high school graduation, who have strong academic achievements, are fluent in English and likely to succeed academically at the University of Evansville.

Almost all international students at the University of Evansville receive some scholarship. You will be informed of your merit scholarships with your admission decision, and then expected to show sufficient financial support to pay the remainder of costs to attend the university in order to get your I-20 form for your student visa.

We take applications on a rolling basis, but recommend that you complete your application by June 1 for a fall start and November 1 for a spring start in order to have enough time to complete the visa process.

As soon as we have your application, proof of English proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS, SAT or ACT), academic records, we will move quickly to determine your admission status. You should hear from us within 1-2 weeks after your file is complete.

Complete documentation will include a professional translation (for languages other than English) of your transcript and course descriptions. If your degree is from a university outside the U.S., you will need to submit your documents to World Education Services (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) for an evaluation. The university should receive the assessment directly from the evaluation service. For accreditation services accepted by the university, please contact international@evansville.edu.

Students who will still be a minor (under 18 years of age) at their program start date will be required to provide the name, address, telephone number and email address of a person residing in the United States who will serve as their legal guardian until they turn 18 years old. This information must be received before an I-20 will be issued. An official guardianship document, signed and notarized by the students’ parents must be received on or before August 1. (December 1 for spring semester). Students who do not provide this document will not be allowed to move into their campus housing assignment and enrollment for the academic term will not be allowed. Any current registration will be cancelled.

The University of Evansville requires admitted international students to submit both financial support documentation and the $300 admission deposit before an I-20 form will be issued. You will work with International Student Services on the visa process.

You must show proof of ability to pay for tuition, room, meals, fees, insurance, as well as your personal expenses. We will provide a detailed list and total amount of what you will need to show financially with your admission decision.

The full description of scholarships available can be found on the Scholarships for International Students webpage.

Do not count on working in the United States to fund your education. Off-campus jobs are generally not permitted on your student visa. On-campus positions are available to you but also have limits on the amount you may earn and hours you may work.

After receiving your I-20 or DS-2019 from the University of Evansville, pay your SEVIS fee at www.fmjfee.com, locate the nearest U.S. Embassy and schedule a visa appointment.

Take all of your original academic documents and financial statements along with our letter of acceptance, I-20, passport and SEVIS fee receipt. Consult the individual Embassy's website for more information. Each embassy will provide a list of the documents to bring.

A full description of the degrees and programs of study at the University of Evansville are available on the academics pages.

No problem! American education allows students to change their minds about their majors or courses of study. However, it is important for international students to choose the major that best fits their intended field of study when they apply for admission as it may impact their ability to get a visa if they are "undecided". Students may change their course of study at any time as long as they meet the requirements for that particular field of study.

The majority of students will earn a degree within four years. A transfer student must complete at least 48 credit hours with the University of Evansville, and specifically, the last 15 credit hours must be done on the UE campus.

Yes! Harlaxton offers semester and summer study abroad options to UE students. Your academic advisor can assist you with determining when will work best in your academic plan, and you can find out more information on the Harlaxton website.
