International Students

What is Early Action?

We offer the non-binding Early Action deadline for undergraduate applicants who desire early notification of their admission status. Applicants wishing to be considered for Early Action need to submit their completed application by November 15. Students submitting all application materials on or before November 15 will receive notification of their admissions decision before January 15.

Applicants for Medical Biology/Pre-Dental Medicine (D.M.D. 3+4) and Nursing should apply by the Early Action deadline. Any program applications submitted after a deadline are reviewed on a space-available basis.

At the University of New England, an international student is someone who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the United States and needs a visa to study in the United States.

International Students Should Submit the Following: 

1. A Common Application or Coalition Application or the UNE Application.
2. Official copy of a high school transcript or a four-year educational record. International transcripts must be provided in English with a grading scale or using the traditional U.S. Education System grade scale. If an educational institution cannot provide this, the transcript must be evaluated through World Education Services.
3. One of the following UNE-approved standardized test scores: SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo English Test or PTE Academic scores. Please see our international test policy below.
