Our faculty and staff create a supportive learning environment that makes us an ideal place for your American college experience. International Application Requirements High School Transcript (Academic Record) Please send us an official copy of your secondary school transcript (in English) showing the courses and grades/marks you received for the most recent 3 to 4 years of schooling. If you have any national examination results, certificates, or diplomas, please submit official copies (in English) as well. Standardized Test Scores/English Language Proficiency Exam If English is not your first language, please arrange to take an English Language Proficiency Exam prior to applying to Dean College. We consider scores from the following exams: Letter(s) of Recommendation (Optional) A letter is optional, but it is a great way to learn more about you. If you are submitting a recommendation a letter from your college counselor or from a teacher who has taught you in an academic subject, such as English, mathematics, science, or social studies is most helpful. You may submit additional letters of recommendation if you wish. Passport ID Page Please send us a copy of your passport photo ID page so we can confirm the spelling of your name and your date of birth. Documentation of Financial Support/Certification of Finances Because need-based financial aid is limited for international students, U.S. immigration rules require you to submit financial documentation indicating that you and your family or sponsors have sufficient funds to cover one year of college expenses at Dean (currently U.S. $58,000). Documenting your financial support can be done in one of two ways: • Submit an official bank letter (in English, with a supporting bank account statement) confirming that you have the funds to cover college costs, or • Complete the Certification of Finances form. Be sure all financial documents are in English, in U.S. Dollars, and officially signed and dated within six months of the start of classes. An I-20 Form will be provided only after you have been accepted, paid the enrollment deposit, and have both your passport ID page and documentation of financial support on file.
