International Applicant Requirements
International applicants are required to show proficiency in the English language sufficient enough to successfully participate in graduate study. Proof of proficiency may be shown by achieving the following test scores:
TOEFL: 508 (paper), 180 (computer), or 64 (internet)
TOEIC: 594
IELTS: 5.0
Our school code for reporting the TOEFL, TOEIC, and IELTS scores electronically is 2539.
In addition, the following forms and supporting documentation are required in order for international students to study in the United States.
FSA 3 English Proficiency Report
International students must show proof of English competency. Please note that applicants whose native language is English are exempt.
FSA 4 Financial Statement
All international applicants must submit evidence of full financial support for all expenses at SUNY Fredonia as a condition of being issued immigration documents for F-1 or J-1 status (i.e., the Certificate of Eligibility, form I-20AB or IAP-66). Applicants must submit the FSA-4 form signed by both the applicant and the applicant's financial sponsor and an original bank statement verifying the available funds. Both of these documents must be originals with original signatures and seals. While an admission decision can be made without the financial documentation, the I-20 or DS-2019 forms cannot be issued until all documents are received.
You may upload the FSA-3 form online, but you must send the FSA-4 form and supporting documentation directly to the SUNY Fredonia Graduate Studies Office at the following address:
SUNY Fredonia Office of Graduate Studies
