International Applicants

If you are offered admission to an Âé¶¹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú degree program and you have officially accepted your offer, you will receive an email from International & Postdoctoral Services Office (IPSO@augusta.edu) with directions to log into AU International to complete the appropriate request forms and provide required documents.  Once your document (I-20 or DS-2019) has been issued, you can apply for a visa at the embassy or consulate in your home country. 

International & Postdoctoral Services Office

For more information pertaining to specific visa types and international students, please visit the International and Postdoctoral Services Office (IPSO) page.

Credential/Transcript Evaluation

An official course-by-course credential/transcript evaluation is required for all college coursework completed at colleges/universities outside the United States. Âé¶¹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú accepts official course-by-course transcript evaluations from WES, Josef Silny and Associates, and ECE. Evaluations may also be accepted from a current National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member on a case-by-case basis. Only in the case of transcripts from international colleges/universities will an official course-by-course transcript evaluation be accepted in lieu of an official transcript. Official transcript evaluations based on unofficial transcripts, documents or copies will not fulfill this requirement.  Degrees awarded from international universities and colleges must be verified as the U.S. equivalent of a Bachelor's or higher degree. 

Study abroad courses do not require an official course-by-course transcript evaluation if they are taken as part of a US institution study abroad program and are included on the official transcript of the US institution.
