Review the admission criteria and our instructions below prior to applying for admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All application materials, including supporting documents (e.g. bank statements, transcripts) become the property of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and cannot be returned. Any documents submitted that are not specifically requested by Bemidji State will not be considered in the applications process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Canadian students do not need an F-1 student visa but *do* need an I-20 to attend Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ as an international student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have any questions, please contact us by email at international@bemidjistate.edu<\/a> or by phone at (218) 755-4096.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Complete an International Student Application<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Submit only one application. Submitting more than one (via online or paper) application delays processing. Under “Citizenship“<\/em> on the application’s first page, be sure to select “International Visa Holder or Seeker.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The “Social Security” number is optional. Only include a social security number if one has been issued to you by the United States government. “333-22-4444” is only an example: DO NOT enter that as a social security number. If you do not have a SSN number, leave that blank, as it delays processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note the following majors are new and not yet approved by SEVP for international students: Art & Communication Technology in CTE, Construction Careers in CTE, Data Science, Forest Management, Special Education Academic and Behavioral Strategist, and Statistics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A $50 international application processing fee payment is required to complete your application submission. This fee must be paid before we process your application, is non-refundable, does not guarantee admission and cannot be waived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To pay the fee, access the PayMyTuition Portal<\/i><\/a>, search for Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, and follow the directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Submit all supporting documents via email to international@bemidjistate.edu<\/a>. Include your Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ-issued 8-digit student ID and full name when submitting supporting documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Documents that require a signature must be signed with a “wet”—original pen-and-ink signature. Computer-generated signatures are not acceptable. Note: Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ may request original or official copies if scanned copies are not sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In your own words, please:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The purpose of this writing is not to impress us; we want it to be honest and allow us to get to know you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are required to provide transcripts from all institutions previously attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n o Institutions inside<\/span> the United States: you must submit official transcripts. When you request official transcripts from your previous schools, you can have them sent by email to international@bemidjistate.edu<\/a> as electronic official transcripts or by U.S. mail to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ – International Programs Center o Institutions outside<\/span> of the United States: you must have a course-by-course evaluation by a professional credit-evaluation agency who is NACES accredited. Here are the NACES accredited organizations<\/i><\/a>. TEC<\/i><\/a> provides a discount for Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Undergraduate applicants must meet ONE of the following requirements for English Proficiency unless on the English Proficiency Waiver List<\/a>. Applicants need to request that official copies of test results be sent directly to the International Program Center at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ from the testing authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1.
