English language placement: The Brenau English placement test will be administered to all students admitted on a student visa in order to place students in the appropriate English course. If you have taken the ACT or SAT test, that score will be used to determine English placement.
Credential evaluation: Credential evaluations of transcripts in languages from countries other than the U.S. must be completed by a professional service that you pay for yourself. Evaluations by an outside agency such as World Education Service or Education Credentials Evaluators are required to assure accuracy in determining U.S. equivalents. Information regarding these services may be obtained by contacting Admissions.
Financial requirements: All international students, residential and commuting, must have sufficient funds to pay full university tuition fees, textbooks, living expenses, transportation expenses, health insurance, and other incidental expenses while attending a university in the United States. Documentary evidence of means of financial support must be provided to Brenau for matriculation purposes and issuance of the Form I-20. This evidence is also required by the United States Embassy or Consulate when applying for a student visa to enter this country. To make tuition payments, visit the International Payments page.
United States Citizen and Immigration Services: It is the student’s responsibility to know and to comply carefully with all non-immigrant visa requirements as stated under the United States laws under Section 101 (a) (15) (F) (I) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
