Provide a legible, color copy or photo of the biographic information page within your passport. Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity from the first day of classes for the term you applied for. If it does not, please renew it.

You are required to show proof of finances sufficient to afford the annual estimated cost of attendance for your first year at UT. To meet this requirement, you will need to provide an official document from a banking institution. For 2023-2024, the amount shown on the official document(s) must be equal to at least $27,203 USD for students seeking to enroll in a degree-seeking program. Students seeking enrollment to the ESL program must show at least $13,368 USD.

If a sponsor (family member, friend, etc.) will be providing you with funding for these expenses, you may submit a bank statement in their name. If you do, that individual must complete the Affidavit of Support stating you will have access to their funds for your educational expenses at UT if needed. You may have multiple sponsors, but each sponsor will need to complete a separate form.

Affidavit of Support

If you want to be considered for receiving the International Freshmen Merit Scholarship, you must submit a complete transcript or all scores from a secondary school exit examination. However, If you are not interested in receiving the scholarship, you may submit a diploma or other confirmation that secondary school was completed. We evaluate all secondary school records within the International Student Services office, so you will not need to use a credential evaluation service.

Some records may require a certified English translation. We will notify you if the document you submitted requires translation.

International Student Scholarships

All graduate student applicants must submit College/University transcripts.

Undergraduate students transferring from a U.S. institution of higher education must submit their official transcripts to UT. Please request a transcript be sent directly to the Registrar’s Office at records@utahtech.edu. This transcript must be sent from your previous institution; our Registrar’s office will not accept documents sent to us from an applicant’s personal email account.

If an official transcript cannot be sent electronically, please have it mailed to:

Registrar’s Office
Utah Tech University
225 S. University Ave.
Saint George, UT 84770

Earned credit from a non-U.S.-based institution abroad? If you want to apply credits from your past studies to your requirements at UT, you will need to send your transcript to a credential evaluation service. After payment, they will determine if your course work is equivalent to course work taken at a regionally accredited college or university in the U.S.. You will also need to provide a certified English translation of the course descriptions for courses to be evaluated properly. Otherwise, all credits will be transferred as elective credit. We recommend using the World Education Service for credit evaluation. If a different company is used, UT will have to further examine the foreign credits which will delay the admission process. View more about this process here: Transferring Credit from Abroad.

Note: Utah Tech University does not require that students submit foreign college/university transcripts for undergraduate transfer students, nor do we guarantee that the credits will transfer. Transcript evaluation is required for graduate program applicants.

Transferring Credit from Abroad
