International students may apply for admission as freshmen (first year) or transfer students. The application deadline for fall semester is May 1, and for spring semester, October 1. By following these deadlines, you will have ample time for long distance correspondence, obtaining a US visa and making travel arrangements. An international applicant to Tri-State University is required to submit the following materials:

Application Form.  International students must apply on-line - click here to apply.

Financial Guarantee.  US Immigration regulations require that students demonstrate their ability to finance the first year of education before receiving the I-20 AB form.
