Undergraduate Admission
When you apply online, we receive your application immediately. Before we will decide on your admission, however, we must receive these materials:

• Your $35 application fee
  The check for your fee (in U.S. funds) must be drawn on a U.S. bank and payable to Central Michigan University. You also may make your payment with these credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. This fee is not refundable.
  
  
• Official transcripts
  Transcripts of all the secondary and post-secondary schools you have attended must include official English translations. Official transcripts must be sent directly by your school or university to the Office of International Education at CMU.
  
  
• Proof of your proficiency in the English language
  If your native language is not English, you must demonstrate your competency in the language. Most students submit an official TOEFL or MELAB score. You may be considered for regular admission if you earned TOEFL scores of 213 (550 on the paper-based test) or MELAB scores of 80 or higher. You will be considered for conditional admission if you earned TOEFL scores between 173 and 210 (500-547 on the paper-based test); when you arrive at CMU, you will be required to take an English placement exam administered by the English Language Institute (ELI). You will take ELI courses, and you may be allowed to take a restricted number of credits in your academic discipline. You will be admitted to the ELI program if you earned TOEFL scores below 173 (500 on the paper-based test).
  
  
• Financial statement
  Complete the financial support form that is part of the application and provide the supporting documents. The bank statement must be an original document that is less than 12 months old. Photocopies are not acceptable. If you have been awarded a scholarship from your government or another institution, include an original document confirming the value of the scholarship and all its conditions.
