Admissions Requirements

Students must submit all of the following at least 60 days prior to the start of the term they wish to begin.  The admissions requirements are:

    1.  A completed application for admission with the $30 undergraduate or $50 graduate non-refundable fee.  An online application is available HERE. 

    2.  International transcripts - International students are required to send their international transcripts to WES (World Education Services) for a course by course analysis.  WES will evaluate the transcript and give us the US equivalent grades and degrees.  The following are the requirements for each category of student:

           Freshman (still attending high school): submit your high school marks/transcript in English to Lawrence Tech during your senior or final year of school for an admission decision.  After you graduate from high school, you will be required to submit your marks/transcript to WES for a document-by-document evaluation of your high school diploma.  If you have already graduated from high school, but not yet attended a college or university, you only need to submit the WES document-by-document evaluation of your high school diploma.
           Transfer (attended college/university courses):  submit both your high school marks/transcripts and your college or university high school marks/transcripts to WES for a course-by-course evaluation of credit and degrees.
            Graduate (completed a four year college/university degree): submit your college or university marks/transcripts to WES for a course-by-course evaluation of credit and degrees.  You do not need to have your high school marks/transcripts evaluated.

    3.  English proficiency or ESL - All international students are required to take the TOEFL or equivalent as proof of English proficiency.  We require a minimum score of 550 on the paper-based test, 213 on the computer-based test, or 79 on the internet-based test.  We offer ESL courses at LTU.   If a student does not want to take the TOEFL or did not pass the TOEFL, the student has an option to complete ESL courses here.  The student should contact the coordinator of the ESL program, Professor Kathy Charbeneau at 248-204-3517.  Depending on the program, the student may be allowed to take courses toward their degree along with the ESL courses.  For more information about taking the TOEFL including finding a test site near you, please refer to the TOEFL website at http://www.ets.org/toefl/.  The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test is also acceptable as proof of English proficiency.  The Minimum IELTS score is a 6.0.

    4. SAT or ACT Test Scores Required of Freshman applicants only.  Students who will be graduating from high school immediately before coming to Lawrence Tech must submit these test scores for the application to be reviewed.

   5. Required Documents for I-20 Processing 

   6. Additional Requirements - Select programs, especially Master's and Doctoral level programs, may have additional requirements.  Please verify with the academic program's web page to verify you have met all additional requirements.
