INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ADMISSIONS
In order to be considered for admission, results of a recent TOEFL exam should be submitted to Hilbert College; a minimum score of 500 (PBT) or 70 (IBT) is required. A 5.4 on the IELTS is also acceptable. Official high school/ secondary school transcripts and academic records verifying successful completion of secondary education are required prior to enrollment. If you have not yet graduated at the time of application, please have your secondary counselor send your most current official transcripts. Students with a high school degree but no university credit will be considered as first time college and students with some university coursework equivalent to at least 12 US college credits will be considered as transfer students. You must also submit official transcripts from all colleges or universities (post-secondary institutions) that you attend(ed). If you are interested in transferring previous course credit from a foreign University to Hilbert, course descriptions or syllabi (in English) are required in order to evaluate your credit for transferability. Transcripts without course descriptions or syllabi are acceptable for admission purposes but will not be evaluated for possible transfer credit.
All international documents must be accompanied by official English translations if the originals are in another language and all documents must be original to be considered official. Faxes or photocopies are not acceptable unless certified by a Ministry of Education, school, or US embassy official and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Transcripts that are emailed cannot be considered as official. It is mandatory to have your official transcripts evaluated by one of the following third-party foreign credential evaluation services:
