Transfer Credit
K-State strongly encourages applicants to submit an academic evaluation report from a credential service. The
service must be a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). For a list of
current members, please visit: http://www.naces.org/members.htm If the transcript you provide does not have

able to provide enough money for one year of study at K-State. The affidavit form is included at the end of this

English Language Proficiency Documentation
You can be conditionally admitted without proof of English proficiency. However, upon arrival you will be required to
take the English proficiency test (EPT). The results of the English proficiency test will determine if you will study
English, either full-time or part-time, or if you are ready to begin full-time university courses. This is to ensure that you
have the necessary English skills to be successful during your time at K-State.
You will not have to take the English proficiency test upon arrival if you have achieved one of the following:
TOEFL (iBT only): composite score of 79 or higher
IELTS: composite score of 6.5 or higher
Step Eiken: Pre-Level 1
ACT: 23 or above on English part score
SAT: 530 or above on critical reading/verbal part score
24 or more transfer credits at an accredited U.S. institution and completed English Composition
I and II with grades of C or better
Attended high school in the United States for four years and completed four years of English
with grades of C or better
Documentation of English proficiency must be submitted to the Office of Admissions before the first day of classes of
your first semester. All testing and coursework must have been completed within the last two years. The ETS
institutional code (TOEFL and SAT) for K-State is 6334.

NOTE: You do not need to complete a separate application for the English Language Program if you are applying to a
degree-seeking program.

K-State requires all international students and strongly recommends all dependents be covered by health insurance.
If insurance is not supplied by a sponsor or agency, upon enrollment for courses, health insurance will be
