An international student is defined as any person who is not a U.S. citizen and does not hold a U.S. Permanent Resident Visa. The definition of an international student also includes those who hold U.S. visas, such as an F-1 visa, exchange visitors, and other non-immigrant classifications.

If you are required to submit TOEFL or Duolingo scores (see Policy 3.2), you must submit your online application before your official scores can become part of your application packet. If there are any discrepancies between the name entered into the online application and your score reports (i.e. middle initial missing, differences in spacing) the system cannot match your scores correctly. Please email uwmuse@uw.edu if you think this might be a possibility.
