Entry requirement for international students

Students from secondary schools are expected to have a satisfactory secondary school record of a B grade or equivalent and proof of adequate English proficiency, as well as a written statement of purpose. Students must provide complete and official certificates of all degrees, diplomas, mark sheets, grade reports and examination records and all materials must be in English. Secondary-school records must be submitted as well as college/university transcripts or credentials. All previous undergraduate work must include syllabi of courses taken with literal translations. Students must provide complete and official certificates of all degrees, diplomas, mark sheets, grade reports and examination records. International students are required to establish proof of adequate English proficiency as part of the admission process. The International Student Affairs Office is authorized by certain academic units to admit on a provisional admission basis when certain applicants have not been enrolled at UMKC before. This category of admission is designed for use just before a given term pending receipt of credentials and the determination of eligibility for regular admission. Students with no TOEFL or low TOEFL may be considered for admission to certain academic programs. All international students subject to the TOEFL requirement are required to be evaluated by the Applied Language Institute staff at UMKC regarding the level of their English proficiency. If any weakness in that level of proficiency is revealed, appropriate coursework will be required to assure that the students success is not jeopardized.
