Online and Campus International Student Admissions Requirements

Post University welcomes international applicants.  Prospective international applicants seeking enrollment into a bachelor’s or master’s level program must submit an application and copies of official secondary and/or college transcripts.  All foreign documents must be in English and receive an evaluation to ensure the applicant meets United States educational standards.

International applicants whose native language is not English must provide proof of English proficiency for admissions into bachelor’s and master’s level degree programs.  Applicants can demonstrate proof of English language proficiency by submitting TOEFL, IELTS, or DuoLingo scores. The following chart provides the minimum score requirements for admissions into the designated degree level.

Student Visa Requirements and F-1 Process for Main Campus Students
To obtain a student visa, the applicant must provide a copy of their passport information page with photograph, complete the Declaration of Finances form, and provide proof of financial resources through bank statements, a letter of government scholarship award, or letter of employer sponsorship.  The date of the documentation must be within six months of the time of application.

Nursing International Student Admissions Requirements

Applicants receiving their education outside of the United States must provide an academic report (evaluation) showing their nursing education is comparable to one earned in the United States and taught in English. This report must also show they earned a minimum GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale for the BSN program and a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for the MSN and DNP programs.  A certificate from CGFNS is not acceptable unless it shows all the requirements above.

We accept international evaluations from the following organizations. Costs vary as well as expedited services.

NACES – National Association of Credential Evaluation Services

AICE – The Association of International Credential Evaluators, Inc.

TAICEP – The Association for International Credential Evaluation Professionals

CGFNS – Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools

For Post University to evaluate an applicant’s request for transfer credits from institutions outside the United States, they must submit a NACES, AICE, TAICEP or CGFNS evaluation including a course-by-course academic report from one of the organizations listed above.   This report is a requirement at the time of evaluation for consideration of the transfer credits.

International applicants whose native language is not English must provide proof of English proficiency for admissions into bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral level degree programs by submitting TOEFL, IELTS, or DuoLingo scores proving English language proficiency.

F-1 Visa Process

Upon acceptance and receipt of the Declaration of Finances, Post University will issue a Form I-­‐20/Certificate of Eligibility, which the applicant uses to apply for a United States F-­1 student visa. Post University links to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) for electronic tracking of international students.  Please note that applicants must pay the SEVIS I-­901 fee and the DS­‐160 visa application processing fee to DHS prior to applying for a visa.  The process of applying for and receiving an F-­1 visa varies from country to country and may take as long as three months.

The issuance of Form I-­20 and F-1 student visa constitutes a legal agreement with the United States.   The definition of an F-­1 student is a non-­immigrant who is pursuing a full course of study towards an educational or professional objective at an institution in the United States. Once the student meets the educational or professional objective, the United States expects the F-1 student to return to their residence abroad.

The F-­1 student agrees to comply with the following requirements:

  • Maintain full-­‐time enrollment except during the summer vacation period.  Full-­time enrollment is a minimum of 12 credits per semester.
  • Maintain enough financial support for the duration of the course of study.
  • Follow the procedures to transfer schools, change educational levels and/or majors, or extend their program.
  • Engage in employment in the United States only with the express authorization of a designated school official (DSO).
  • Post University restricts employment to the University or its contracted services.
  • Report all changes in status, including address, within 10 days to the Office of International Admissions.

Upon completion, the applicant must mail (or email) the application, with all documentation to:
