International Students

In order to obtain admission to Southern University at Shreveport, international students must submit the following material before eligibility for admission can be determined:

• Complete an application package and pay $15.00 admission fee.
• Submit an official transcript of high school and college credits.
• Provide Certification of Financial Resources, certified by a bank or government official stating ability to meet all expenses.
• Submit an official copy of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores for all whose native language is not English.
