TOEFL Selection criteriaIn most cases, international applicants seeking admission to Kansas State University must meet the same academic standards for admission as American students. There are wide variations, however, between educational systems throughout the world that make exact comparisons of educational standards difficult. You will be admitted on the basis of your prior academic work, probability of success in your chosen curriculum, and certification of adequate financial resources.English proficiency assessmentAll new students whose primary (native) language is not English are scheduled to take a proficiency assessment of written and spoken English before they can enroll. The purpose of this test is to ensure that you have adequate proficiency to learn in an English-speaking classroom environment at K-State. This test is part of the enrollment schedule, and you are registered to take the test based on the information you provided on your application. If your results indicate that you need to take necessary English support courses, the director of the English Language Program may recommend one of the following enrollment options:
Transfer credit from other countriesTransfer credit may be awarded for university level studies completed abroad, based on the official records and certificates you submitted with your application. Credit for previous academic work completed outside the United States is evaluated on individual basis. When you are accepted for admission, advanced credit is awarded on the basis of post-secondary records submitted. If advanced credit is not granted, credit may be earned by validation for comparable courses through departmental examination, successful completion of higher level courses, or acceptable recommendations. Syllabi, course descriptions, and test results may be required to facilitate the evaluation. You should bring these documents with you. Evaluation may be delayed until after you enroll. Final determination of the amount of academic credit will not be made until after you are admitted to the university.Health insuranceKansas State University strongly recommends that all international students and their dependents be covered by health insurance.
