At Lawrence Technological University, we’re excited to welcome Canadian students into our diverse and innovative academic community. Whether you’re a first-year or transfer student, this page outlines the key documents and requirements you’ll need to complete your application process.
Canadian First-Year students must submit the following documents to be considered for admission:
To meet admission requirements, a 65% or letter grade of “C/B,” after re-calculation of core (Math, Science, English, and Social Science) courses from a secondary school of grades 9-12, is required. Grades of 60 percent or better for Ontario Academic Credit (OAC) will be considered for LTU credit.
Canadian Transfer students must submit the following documents to be considered for admission:
A minimum 2.0 GPA (or “C” average) with 30 or more college credit hours completed is required to meet admission requirements to Lawrence Tech. Students with fewer than 30 college credits completed will be reviewed for admission using primarily secondary school transcripts. Upon admission to Lawrence Tech, a credit evaluation will be completed to determine which courses are transferable.
Architecture majors require a portfolio for transfer credit purposes. Click here for portfolio requirements.
Please be advised that as of the Summer 2013 semester, all Canadian students studying at Lawrence Tech in F-1 status will be in one of the following classifications: regular F-1 student, full-time Canadian commuter student, part-time Canadian commuter student. For each classification, there are specific regulations regarding your address, how your I-20 is issued, and part-time or full-time enrollment. Details regarding each classification are provided on the following tabs.
The International Programs Office will manage your SEVIS record based on your most recent enrollment status. You may be contacted by an International Student Advisor if there are any questions regarding your status. Students classified as regular F-1 students or as full-time Canadian commuter students will not receive new documents or any additional communication. Students classified as part-time Canadian commuter students will receive a new I-20 and additional information, as their records are most affected by these changes.
You may change your classification at any time during your degree program. Please contact the International Programs Office prior to making any changes to your enrollment status or residential address so that we can review your record and advise you of how the changes will affect your classification.
For Lawrence Tech to issue your I-20 you will need to complete the admissions requirements , submit your application fee, be accepted, and submit your enrollment deposit at your student status page.
Additional requirements for your I-20 include:
Submit a current bank statement as proof that you have sufficient funds to pay for an entire year of school at Lawrence Tech. If you are depending on a sponsor(s) to provide funding, LTU needs:

For all other students coming to live in the United states and attending LTU:
Going forward, please base your payments on invoices from Lawrence Tech. They will cover the expected cost of tuition and on-campus housing. Payments for off-campus housing, or other personal living expenses should be sent to your personal bank account, not the university. Payments received in excess of the amount billed will either be placed on deposit for an upcoming semester or returned to the sender. In the case of wire transfers, the wire transfer will be reversed to return funds back to the originating account.
Send us the information page of your passport. We will use the information to enter you into the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). You will be responsible for paying the SEVIS fee. To pay the fee go to the Student and Exchange Visitor (SEVP) I-901 SEVIS Fee Processing Website.
If you are in the U.S. studying on an F-1 student visa, you are able to transfer your current SEVIS record to Lawrence Tech after you have received your offer of admission and completed the steps above. Have your SEVIS record transferred by your current school to LTU using our school code of DET214F00335000.
Pay the I-901 Fee (SEVIS Fee) at www.fmjfee.com. Once the payment is completed, print the I-901 receipt.
Students may enter the US up to 30 days prior to the program start date listed on the I-20. When at the border, students will need to produce the I-901 receipt and I-20 for the border agent. Upon clearance, the agent will provide the student with an I-94 Entry/Departure Record.
We understand you are making big decisions and we are here to help you find the information you need.
