General University Information
ADMISSION OF UNDERGRADUATE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTS
Diplomas, Certificates
Copies should be enclosed with the application. Students
from countries following the British educational system must
submit certified photocopies, or ask the examinations council
to mail confidential results to the University of Miami. Reports
of scores in school-leaving examinations (e.g., Baccalaureate)
must also be submitted.
Transcripts, Statements of Marks
A transcript must contain the following information: subjects
studied; marks (grades) awarded; length of class periods;
number of periods per week for each subject; and grading scale
with minimum passing mark. Year-by-year records of marks should
be sent to the University of Miami directly from U.S. institutions.
Certified records from foreign institutions may be submitted
by applicants, but the University may sometimes insist that
such transcripts be sent directly to the University of Miami
from the issuing institutions. All secondary and tertiary
transcripts must be submitted.
English Translations
Documents in a language other than English must be accompanied
by certified English translations. Notarized translations
will not be accepted. Translations supplement but do not replace
original documents. Please remember to send both.
Syllabus of university study (description of each course
or subject studied accompanied by certified English translations.
Notarized translations will not be accepted).
A current (within the past six months) bank or government
sponsorship letter guaranteeing payment for tuition and fees,
books, room and board, medical insurance and personal expenses
for one calendar year (two semesters and two summer sessions)
is required.
EXAMINATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
All international students whose native language is not English,
including those applying for transfer from U.S. institutions,
are required to submit the results of the Test of English
as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
TOEFL Score Requirements
*Based on maximum score of 90 for Reading, Writing
and Listening Sections only
Conditional admission: Academically qualified applicants who
are unable to take the TOEFL, or who have scored less than
the required minimum, may be offered admission to undergraduate
programs with the condition that they successfully complete
level five of the University of Miami Intensive English Program
or obtain a 550 TOEFL and higher.
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
International students are eligible to apply for all programs
offered at the University of Miami. It should be noted that
medicine and law are studied at the graduate level in the
United States, and it is therefore inappropriate for undergraduate
international applicants to request these programs.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The University of Miami has no financial assistance for international
students other than academic scholarships. International students
must provide funds for all of their expenses during the entire
period of study, including travel and vacations. Students
who would not be able to cover their expenses are best advised
not to apply for admission.
