At Rockhurst, we believe international
students enrich the learning experience for all
students because of the cultural exchange that
occurs. This is why Rockhurst encourages all
qualified international students to apply for
admission. The Jesuit education offered at Rockhurst
brings a 450 year tradition of academic excellence
to all of our programs.
ADMISSION TO ROCKHURST
We are here to assist you
in the admission process. To be considered for
admission to Rockhurst University, please submit
the following documents by May 1 if seeking fall
admission and October 1 for spring admission(fall
admission is preferred, so you are properly introduced
to the University). All our international forms
are available on our Web site at www.rockhurst.edu.
- Results
from the Test of English as a foreign Language
(TOEFL). A minimum paper-based score of 550, a computer-based score of 213 or an internet-based score of 79 is required for Rockhurst University admission.
- Results
from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or
the American College Testing Program (ACT).
A minimum score of 950 for the SAT or a minimum
ACT composite and English category score of
20 is required for admission to Rockhurst University.
- A declaration
and certification of your ability to pay for
your educational expenses at Rockhurst for
two full time semesters.
- Complete
official high school and college academic credentials
and an English translation and course by course
evaluation of these.
- Students
who transfer from another U.S. college/university
must have a completed “Supplemental Form” signed
by the designated school official at the previous
college/university.
While we are eager to have
international men and women among our student
body, there are a number of factors which limit
those who are able to attend. We prefer to inform
you of these conditions rather than disappoint
you in the future.
You must be responsible
for payment for your entire education. United
States laws prevent international students
from having jobs in the United States at any
time during their four years as students. Similarly,
international students are not eligible for
state or federal financial aid. While we regret
this situation, we are unable to alter these
conditions. Partial scholarships are available
for students with superior academic credentials
and test scores.
You must declare
your ability to pay. A declaration and certification of your ability
to pay all educational expenses at Rockhurst must be fully completed. The
amount you certify as being available to finance your studies must equal
tuition plus living expenses for the nine month academic year and summer
living expenses. Certification of funding must be in English with sources
of support shown in U.S. dollars. All letters
of support must be for Rockhurst University and
not any other college or university. Any false information is grounds
for rejection of your application and dismissal
from the university. Upon approval of your enrollment, the visa
eligibility document is issued. You take the
visa to the U.S. Consul along with copies of the financial certification.
The Consul issues the visa for you to enter the
United States.
