International Student Application Checklist
A complete international admission application includes the items listed below. Applications cannot be reviewed until all of these items are received.

The application will provide us with information necessary to study at the University of Minnesota Rochester. Included in the application is the Financial Certification Statement. This form is required as part of your application materials, but the information provided on the form will not be taken into consideration when making your admission decision.
A $30 USD non-refundable application fee is required; when you have assembled the entire application, you can submit it to us electronically.

To be considered for scholarships, applications must be completed by December 1.

If English is not your native language, you will need to take an English Proficiency exam and have your scores sent to UMR.
3. Submit Transcripts From Previous Institutions
Submit secondary school transcript(s) from each secondary school/high school attended or currently attending.
If you are currently completing secondary school, send your transcript that includes the courses in progress.
