Application Documentation
Documentation provided must be the original or verified copies. If documents are in a language other than English, notarized translations must be provided. Any additional costs associated with obtaining the required documentation (i.e. external academic assessment, obtaining transcripts and registration documentation) as well as document translation and English language tests are the responsibility of the applicant.
To be eligible for assessment, the applicant must first complete an Online Application for International Applicants.
