he application process for international students at the University of Michigan is the same process all undergraduate students undertake, with a few key differences. The requirements may vary depending on your country of origin and specific educational history, particularly the type of transcript you will need to submit.
Before you apply, it is important to note that international students on temporary visas are not eligible for financial aid, and are expected to pay the full cost of attendance. Few scholarships are available.
Important Application Steps
- You must apply via the Common Application, along with a $75 application fee.
- SAT or ACT score, if available.
- Submit the School Report.
- Submit one Teacher Evaluation (core academic teacher or other non-relative who can speak directly to the student's academic aptitude, potential, and classroom performance).
- Submit a Counselor Recommendation (encouraged, but not required).
- Submit your high school transcript. An official English translation is required to accompany the transcript if the transcript is not issued in English by the school. Students who have already completed high school, including university transfer applicants, should be sure to have final high school transcript submitted showing the graduation date. Also provide a detailed explanation of any educational gaps.
- If you are a speaker of English as a second language, you will need to submit a test score that demonstrates your English proficiency (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS, MET, etc.).
See General English Proficiency Score Ranges for these tests.
- Please note that international students on temporary visas are not eligible for financial aid, and should expect to pay the full cost of attendance. Scholarships are generally not available.
Do not submit any extra documents unless specifically requested, as this may only delay your decision.
Students who wish to have an ACT/SAT score considered as a part of their application should self-report their ACT/SAT score on their application or through Enrollment Connect by Nov. 15 for Early Action consideration. Those who do not wish to have an ACT/SAT score considered as a part of their application should indicate that on the testing question within the application.
