Any student who submits fraudulent and/or unverifiable documents, or otherwise misrepresents themselves in any way during any part of the application or enrollment process, will be automatically denied admission (or revoked admission, if offer has already been extended). Please note that applicants can only defer once. After one deferral has been granted, the applicant must re-apply for admission.
We can help with everything from the application, admission and arrival process. Call us at (+1) 540-831-6200.

To apply as a freshman student, please submit the following documents:
Submit official transcripts for all secondary schools and any university/college(s)
that you have attended. All transcripts must be in English. Please note that we accept
electronic transcripts sent via Parchment, sendEdu, Clearinghouse, Common App, Scribbles
and Scoir as official transcripts. If transcripts are submitted electronically through
one of these partners, we do not require that you send a paper copy via courier.
For students from Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, The Gambia and Liberia Only: Students
must submit an official WAEC scratch card.
Note: Radford University reserves the right to request any and all transcripts be
evaluated by a third-party evaluation service, such as WES, ECE or SpanTran when appropriate in order to make an admission decision.
There are four ways you can meet our English proficiency requirements:
As required by the U.S. government, all international students must submit financial documents as evidence of the ability to pay all tuition, fees and expenses for one full year (less any scholarships). The most common financial documents used as evidence are a bank statement or a bank letter stating the balance on the account. All financial documents must be originals (no faxes, scans or copies will be accepted), in English and no older than six months. Please check the Financial Requirements Form to determine how much the financial statements must show
If you will be supported by one or more family members or another individual(s), you must also submit an Affidavit of Support for each financial statement submitted. An Affidavit of Support for Dependents is also required for any dependent accompanying you to the USA.
Conditional admission is for undergraduate students who do not have proof of English
proficiency or do not meet our minimum proof of English proficiency requirements,
but otherwise meet all other admission criteria. Students in this category are admitted
to a Radford University academic program with the condition (requirement) of completing
our Intensive English Program (IEP) prior to taking any academic courses. Once the IEP program is completed, students
will be allowed to begin their academic-related courses. No additional application
is required. If you are applying under this category, please let us know by sending
us an email at globaled@radford.edu.
Note: If you are applying for conditional admission, you will be required to complete
at least one level (semester) of our Intensive English Program. You will not be able
to test out of this program upon arrival.
