Prospective international students must submit a number of documents in order to be considered for admission. Because there is much paperwork involved, it is best to submit these items by mail to our office as soon as possible.   

 

In order to complete the application process, please send the following documents to the Office of Admission at McKendree.

 

1.  Application for Admission. The online application is free of charge to complete. You may also request a paper application.

2.  Supplemental Application for International Students  This application is needed for proper issuance of I-20 documents.

3.  All official secondary transcripts. If you have attended any secondary school or high school, official secondary transcripts are required. All transcripts must be translated into the English language. 

4.  All postsecondary transcripts. If you have attended any college or university after completing your secondary school education, official postsecondary transcripts are required. All transcripts must be translated into the English language. Postsecondary transcripts from institutions within the United States will be evaluated for credit by McKendree. All postsecondary transcripts from international institutions must be evaluated by a credential evaluation agency, in order for the admissions process to be completed.
