Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I take the TOEFL (or other tests) after the Augsburg College application deadline has passed?

The admissions staff strongly recommends that all required standardized testing (SAT, SAT II, and TOEFL) be completed before the May 1 application deadline. Tests taken in May generally arrive late in the deliberation process.

2. The SAT and ACT tests are not available in my country. Will this affect my application?

If you are residing in a country that does not offer any type of standardized tests like the SAT or ACT, please contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office for further information.

3. Can I submit photocopies of my secondary school transcript(s)?

No. The Augsburg Admissions Office requires all secondary school transcripts are evaluated by an official credential evaluator. World Education Services can assist you in this process.

4. If I am already a university student in my home country, may I transfer to Augsburg?

If you have completed the equivalent of 1 or more semesters at a university in your home country, you may apply as a transfer student.

5. How do you consider U.S. citizens abroad and international students attending school in the U.S.?

We read applications based on where you currently attend school, rather than by your citizenship status. Your application will be read with others from the school you attend.

6. I have been living and studying in the U.S. for several years. Am I still considered an international applicant?

Yes, unless you are a U. S. citizen or permanent resident (and hold a green card). Please notify our office if your status changes (for example, you become a citizen or receive a green card) while you are in the application process.
