International Students

The first step is to submit an online application.

Send the following documents to admissions@allianceu.edu:

• High School Transcript and diploma
• College/University Transcripts: All foreign transcripts must be sent to Spantran, Globe, or WES.
• Recommendations: Submit a Professional or Pastoral Recommendation Letter.
• English Proficiency Requirements: The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Pearson Test of English (PTE), and Duolingo English Test (DET) are accepted.

Once the admission requirements are complete, you will receive an interview notification (it could be a phone call, Zoom meeting or email). This process is to get to know you better and see if Alliance University is the right fit for you!

Upon completion of the interview, you will receive a decision letter and a financial package that reflects the scholarship or tuition fee aid that you qualify for as an international student.

The I-20 Form is to show proof of your ability to cover all academic-related costs. Follow the steps below to complete all of the form’s requirements.

5. Bank Statement or Bank Letter

6. Passport Copy
Provide a copy of your passport information page – must be valid for at least six months prior to expected travel to the U.S.

7. I-20 Transfer Certification
If you are an international student currently enrolled in a college in the US, please transfer your I-20 using the form below.

• I-20 Transfer Certification Form

When you receive your I-20, check that the information is accurate. Then print your name and sign the first page. At the interview, please be sure to take all original documents: acceptance letter, bank statements, etc. when you present your endorsed Form I-20 to the U.S. Embassy.

Once the visa is approved, the Embassy Official will issue you the U.S. F-1 Student Visa (stamped into your passport). The visa gives you permission to enter the U.S. for the purpose stated on it (full-time student). Please make sure that the expiration date of the visa covers the time required to complete the degree program.

Stay in touch once you arrive in the U.S. and reach out to your admissions counselor and PDSO to make sure that your class enrollment is all set for the semester.
