INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ADMISSION
Graduate education at SUNY Brockport welcomes international students to our campus, recognizing that they enrich the educational experience for all students by contributing to the intellectual, social and cultural diversity of the College community.

In addition to assessing the academic record of international applicants, the College is required by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to obtain financial and other documentation before issuing the Certificate of Eligibility for Non-Immigrant Student Status (I-20). It is the College's responsibility to collect and record this information on the I-20 as part of the admissions process.

The following items are required for admission, in addition to other program-specific requirements indicated on each program's application.

Official or true certified copies of the applicant's post-secondary academic record (tran- scripts, examination scores, mark sheets, etc.) in both English and the original language.
Official or true certified copies of the applicant's diploma or degree certificate in both English and the original language.
Documentation of English language proficiency for all non-native speakers of English. The College accepts only the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A minimum score of 550 on the paper-based version or a 213 on the computerized version is required for consideration for admission.

If the student has a sponsor, the student must also submit a letter, signed and dated by the sponsor, stating the amount (in US dollars) that will be put toward the student's educational expenses while attending SUNY Brockport.
Upon enrolling in a graduate program at SUNY Brockport, international students will be required to purchase a mandatory health insurance policy, consistent with the SUNY requirement that all international students have health insurance. Students will be automatically charged for the SUNY international student policy. If an international student is covered by another health insurance policy, a request to waive the SUNY policy requirement may be made to the Student Health Center in Hazen Hall. As part of the waiver request, international students will be asked to provide a copy of their existing personal health insurance policy written in English.
