International Applicant Policy

If you are an international applicant, please be advised that you must be able to verify the requisite funding for your educational expenses while at Emory. You may contact the Office of Admission to obtain the appropriate forms. In addition, please instruct your financial institution to forward documentation as to monies available (i.e., certified bank statements or letters of financial verification). The documentation is required by United States Department of Homeland Security regulations concerning student visas (F-1).

International applicants must submit evidence of sufficient ability to read, write, speak, and understand written and spoken English. Every student whose native Language is not English is encouraged to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) administered by the Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box 6151, Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6151 (www.toefl.org). Official results of this test should be sent with the application, or as soon as possible thereafter. A score of 600 (paper version), 250 (computer version), or 100 (Internet version) is recommended on the TOEFL. Emory will generally require a score of 100. International students seeking admission to Emory University must present outstanding school records and must possess sufficient command of written and oral English to profit from university instruction conducted in English.

Emory University has a mandatory health insurance requirement for all University students (domestic and international). Under this requirement, students much either purchase the Emory Student Health Insurance Plan or show evidence of enrollment in a comparable United States domiciled health insurance plan. If the student has not waived out of the Emory plan by the deadline date, he or she will be automatically enrolled in the Emory plan and billed via the bursar.

For information regarding the health insurance plan for students offered by Aetna/The Chickering Group and endorsed by Emory University, help is available by calling 404.727.7560 or by visiting our website at www.emory.edu/UHS (click on “Fees/Insurance”). Our Emory/Aetna student health insurance plan has no preexisting condition limitations or exclusions.
