Steps to Apply

Undergraduate Admissions:

Please download, print and submit the traditional student Application for Admission (pdf document) and also include the following:

1. Official Transcript(s) 
2. Reference Forms. 
3. SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) or ACT (American College Test) scores 
4. Official TOEFL score 
5. Proof of Financial Resources
6. Proof of Immunizations
   

Step 1: Your Application.

Download, print and submit the traditional student Application for Admission (pdf document). The application can also be completed online, here.

Step 2: Provide your reference forms.

Submit two reference forms – one (1) by a pastor or a person of leadership in your church or para-church organization and one (1) completed by a teacher or guidance counselor from your high school or college. These references can be completed online.

Step 3: Provide academic documents

Submit an official transcript (by mail) of all high school and/or any college credits. You must have completed your junior year of high school before your application can be evaluated. If you have completed college course work outside of the U.S., please have your transcript evaluated by Educational Credential Evaluators in order to gain credit for those courses once you begin studying at LETU.

An official test score report from ACT or the College Board (SAT) is required. LETU University's code for the SAT is 6365, our code for the ACT is 4120.

The SAT or ACT requirement may also be satisfied if you submit official reports of another internationally recognized test such as "O-Levels." Please let us know if you have questions regarding testing requirements.

If you have completed at least one semester of full-time college course work, you are not required to submit test scores, though it is highly encouraged if you have taken either of those tests.

Step 4: Submit proof of English language proficiency

If your first language is not English, you must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). A minimum TOEFL score of 197 on the computer-based, 525 on the paper-based, or 71 on the Internet-based version is required for admission consideration.

Japanese students may also take the Society for Testing English Proficiency (STEP) EIKEN Test in Practical English Proficiency. Students would need to reach the "Grade Pre-1" level for admission consideration. For Indian students, LeTourneau will accept the Common Entrance Test.

Step 5: Provide documentation of financial support

The I-20 Form, necessary for securing a student visa to enter the U.S., will be sent to you only after admissions to LeTourneau University and proof of financial resources have been established.

According to I-20 guidelines, you must demonstrate that you will be able to afford an education at LETU through bank statements and pay the $100 housing fee and $100 tuition deposit. To establish proof to financial resources, please have your bank send a copy of your bank statement to the Office of International Studies, Marta E. Martin, Director.

You can estimate costs of attending LETU by adding tuition, room and board, and insurance. The tuition deposit will be held in escrow and applied toward your first year's expenses.

Step 6: Provide documentation of immunizations (vaccine record)

For students enrolling after January 1, 2010, the State of Texas requires that every first-time student (regardless of age or classification) residing on campus must show evidence of being immunized against bacterial meningitis. If you are a first-time student living on campus, you must submit evidence that you have received the bacterial meningitis vaccination at least 10 days prior to checking into the residence hall. Exceptions to this requirement must be documented on a conscientious exemption form from the Texas Department of State Health Services. Information concerning an exemption form request can be obtained here under the heading of “Exclusions from Immunization Requirements”.

In addition, all prospective LETU students must provide their immunization records.  International students must provide a certified English translation of all documents.

Step 7:  Mail all documents to:

Ashley Greenwald
Office of Admissions
LeTourneau University
P.O. Box 7001
Longview, Texas 75607-7001

Are you a transfer student?

If you are an international student wishing to transfer to LETU from another college or university in the United States, you will need to have an International Transfer Request Form completed by the International Student Advisor at your current institution.

If you have completed college course work outside of the U.S., please have your transcript evaluated by Educational Credential Evaluators in order to gain credit for those courses once you begin studying at LETU. If you have completed at least one semester of full-time college course work, you are not required to submit test scores, though it is highly encouraged if you have taken either of those tests.
