Have your ACT and/or SAT test results sent to the Office for Admissions by the testing service.  We will also accept records of your ACT and/or SAT exams that appear on official high school transcripts.

All applicants from outside the United States, Bermuda, and Canada who show official evidence of university entrance qualifications are exempt from taking the ACT examination.

Atlantic Union College welcomes applicants who have attended other institutions of higher education.  Official transcripts must be received in the Registrar's Office for transfer status to be granted.

In addition to the admissions procedure, international applicants must submit the following:

A Declaration of Finances. (This form will be supplied to the applicant as part of the admission packet). The applicant, parent, and/or financial sponsor should complete this form, indicating financial support for one, two, three, or four years, whatever the length of the student's stay. These documents can be download from our Forms List. 

For specific information regarding Bermudian and Canadian students, please contact the Director of Admissions, Kallie Kirchberg, at 978-368-2235.

A $2,500 advance deposit (bank draft in U.S. Currency) and submission of current bank statement (no more than six months old).

Applicants who are not United States citizens or permanent residents whose first language is not English should refer to page 11 under the heading "English language proficiency requirements for applicants whose first language is not English."

When the international applicant is accepted, he or she may plan on receiving the I-20 immigration form (necessary for applying for an F-1 student visa) early enough to make necessary arrangements to arrive in time for registration for the semester he or she plans to attend, provided the $1,500 advance deposit has been received, all official transcripts are on file, a financial payment plan has been submitted and approved, and a current bank statement has been received. Except to Bermuda and Canada, no I-20 forms will be issued for the first semester after July 31, or for second semester after December 31.

Immigration laws limit those holding student visas to 20 hours a week of on-campus employment during the school year. Each person with a student visa must earn a minimum of 12 semester hours of academic credit each term. Correspondence courses may not count toward the minimum class load.

No international applicant should leave the home country with the intention of enrolling at the College until he or she has received a formal letter of acceptance, an I-20 from Atlantic Union College, a valid passport, and a valid visa to enter the United States.

Applicants who have withdrawn for less than four semesters prior to the proposed date of return may be readmitted by filing a reapplication form with the Office of Admissions.   Applicants who have withdrawn for four semesters or longer will need to update personal information by completing a regular application form.

Applicants who wish non-matriculation status need only complete a short application form in the Registrar's Office located in Haskell Hall.

Senior Citizens (65 years and older) may take one course each semester without charge through a traditional program, provided there is space available in the class.
