Q: I am interested in learning more about IWU’s international admission process,
merit-based scholarships, financial assistance, and cost of attendance. Could
you please help and who should I contact for further advice?
A: IWU’s International Admissions team is more than happy to assist
international applicants when specific questions arise. Please contact your
admissions counselors whose international territory is around your location via
email for help.
Before drafting emails, please make sure you have explored all the following
links and Q&As:
* Start your application at IWU and check detailed international admission
requirements: www.iwu.edu/international/admission.html
* Learn more about IWU’s international merit-based scholarships and additional
financial aid opportunities: www.iwu.edu/international/scholarships.html
* Learn more about IWU’s fee structure: www.iwu.edu/international/costs.html
Q: Does IWU have application fee waivers for international students?
A: Applying to IWU is cost-free to all applicants including international and
domestic students, so you don’t need to have an application fee waiver to start
and complete your application at IWU.
Q: Does IWU provide any Master’s degree programs or graduate programs?
A: No, we don’t. Illinois Wesleyan University is a national liberal arts college
in the US and exclusively offers undergraduate programs. Master’s degree
programs and graduate programs are unavailable on our campus.
Q: May I learn more about IWU’s language waiver policy to international
applicants?
A: No problem. At IWU, we will grant the language waiver to native speakers of
English and international students attending English-medium school(s) for more
than three years. Your school official will need to write a formal letter in
Word or PDF format that verifies English as the language of instruction at your
school. That letter should be attached to an email sent to your admission
counselors or international@iwu.edu from your school official or guidance
counselor: copies from applicants won’t be considered as official.
Otherwise, international students must submit their language scores. If on-site
exams are not available in your location, please attend a Duolingo English Test
at home for completing the language requirement.
Q: Can I use SAT/ACT or other test results to waive the language requirement?
A: IWU defines TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo English Test (DET), and Pearson PTE as
English Proficiency Exams. Other test results including SAT/ACT will NOT work
for meeting language requirements. See detailed minimum language requirements
here.
Q: Do I need to have a SAT/ACT score to apply to IWU?
A: No, you don’t. IWU is now test optional. See detailed international admission
requirements here.
Q: I have submitted my IWU application and want to access my application portal
to see what materials are still missing, but I cannot find my login information
in my inbox, what do I do?
A: Please reach out to your admissions counselors whose international territory
is around your location via email for help. You will receive an email with
instructions on how to set up/change your account password and will be able to
access your application checklist on the application portal.
Q: I have completed the IWU application form and logged into my personal
application portal, but there are some awaiting materials on my checklist. How
can I submit those documents?
A: Our International Admission team will regularly send reminder emails along
with relevant instructions regarding submitting awaiting materials. But it’s
always good to know before reading emails! Here are detailed instructions for
submitting your awaiting materials:
* If missing a Copy of Passport: please send the copy of passport or a passport
waiver request to international@iwu.edu for submission;
* If missing a Family Financial Statement: simply click this link and complete
the form for submission ;
* If missing any types of Transcripts: all transcripts including high school
transcripts, TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo English Test, Pearson PTE, and
standardized tests (if applicable) must be sent by your school teacher or
guidance counselor via email to international@iwu.edu for submission. Copies
from applicants won't be considered as official. You may also contact the
test agencies to mail scores to Illinois Wesleyan, which may take two weeks
for us to receive them;
* If needing a Language Waiver OR you are a native speaker of English: see the
above Q&A regarding language policy.
Q: When should I expect to receive the admission decision from IWU?
A: If applications and materials were all completed, Early Action round
applicants should be able to receive their decisions on or before Dec 15.
Regular Decision round applicants can expect to receive their decisions
approximately two weeks after completing their applications.
The International Admissions Committee will review completed applications after
all required materials are submitted. Please make sure your checklist on the
personal application portal is all clear before following up with your
admissions counselors regarding application status.
Q: Can I self-report my materials such as high school transcripts and test
results to IWU? What about Passport?
A: IWU does NOT accept self-reported high school transcripts, language scores,
standardized test results (if applicable) or language waivers. Please contact
your school teachers/officials, guidance counselors, or local EducationUSA
Advisors to send those materials to international@iwu.edu via email.
Only passport, financial documents, and other supplemental materials such as
portfolios are acceptable from applicants themselves.
Q: I don’t currently have a valid passport but I will have it in the near
future. Am I eligible to apply to IWU?
A: Yes, you are! If the passport is unavailable when applying to IWU, please
send an email to international@iwu.edu to request a passport waiver.
Reminder: your passport must be ready by the time we issue an I-20 form.
Q: My counselor/teacher has submitted the official documents to
international@iwu.edu or I have sent materials (e.g. passport copy) to
international@iwu.edu, but those documents haven’t been reflected on the
checklist.
A: Typically, it will take 7 business days for us to verify and upload documents
to your admission profile. If the waiting time has been longer than 7 business
days, please contact your specific international admissions counselor so we can
verify the materials for you.
Before contacting your admissions counselors, please keep in mind that
self-reported high school transcripts, language scores, standardized test
results (if applicable) and language waivers will NOT be accepted. Please follow
the instructions above to submit those documents officially.
Thank you for your patience in advance.
Q: How to apply for the Merit-Based Scholarship? Any extra steps?
A: Merit-based scholarship will be assigned to all admitted international
students automatically and there are no extra steps other than completing your
application at IWU.
Q: How to apply for the Presidential Scholarship? Any extra steps?
A: All first-year applicants who submitted required documents and completed
applications before Feb. 15 will be considered for the Presidential Scholarship,
which is a full-tuition scholarship at IWU. There are no extra steps or
additional requirements on test scores for being considered for the Presidential
Scholarship.
The Presidential Scholarship at IWU is only granted to two international
students each year. In the Fall 2021-22 admission cycle, we received 1,809
completed applications from international students and admitted 209 of them, and
2 students received the Presidential Scholarship.
Q: Are there any full-ride/full-funded scholarships at IWU?
A: There is NO full ride/full-funded scholarship at IWU. Recipients of the
full-tuition scholarship, as known as the Presidential Scholarship, still need
to bear the rest of the cost including housing, meals, health insurance, visa
expenses, international travels, etc. Please see here for more information
regarding IWU’s fee structure.
Q: Are financial aid opportunities available to international students at IWU?
A: Yes, they are available to international students at IWU and you may learn
more here. You can find additional information regarding IWU’s policy here in
the “Family Financial Statement” section.
IWU encourages international students to apply for financial aid opportunities
via the link above. In the Fall 2022-23 admission cycle, the average total
financial package after submitting the CSS Profile reached $42,614 USD per year.
Q: IWU mentions the CSS Profile on the Financial Aid website, can I submit other
financial documents like ISFAA to complete the financial aid process at IWU?
A: For applying to IWU’s additional financial aid opportunities, CSS Profile is
currently the only option at IWU: any other international financial documents
are not applicable at IWU.
IWU’s CSS institution code is 1320 for submission.
Q: Does IWU provide CSS Profile Fee waivers to international students?
A: We understand that there is an extra fee for submitting the CSS Profile. If
the payment for CSS Profile is not available to complete at that time, please
submit your admission application to IWU without the CSS Profile. The missing
status of the CSS Profile won’t impact your admission result at IWU. Admitted
students may inquire with their International Admissions Counselors regarding
the possibility of a fee waiver for the CSS Profile.
Q: When will I receive the I-20 form from IWU?
A: International applicants must receive their acceptance letters from IWU and
confirm their attendance via making the deposit for initiating the I-20 process.
After making the deposit, IWU’s International Office will work closely with
international students on the matter of I-20 at that time.
Here is a sample timeline for your reference:
* For Fall semester deposited enrollees, I-20 forms will be available in May;
* For Spring semester deposited enrollees, I-20 forms will be available in
November.
Q: I have made the decision to attend IWU. What’s the next step?
A: Great to know your decision to join IWU! The next step is making the deposit
and locking your seat at IWU. Here is the link regarding detailed instructions
on making the deposit at IWU.
After making the deposit, IWU’s International Office will work with you
regarding I-20 forms and visa interviews.
We are looking forward to seeing you on campus!
