  Generally, 12 or more credit hours per semester is considered full time for international students. Contact ASU’s International Students and Scholars Center at 480-727-4776 for more information or to discuss your particular circumstances.
• What should international students submit with the admission application?
  
  In addition to your application fee and all official transcripts, international students must submit proof of English proficiency. Foreign school transcripts can be sent by the student as long as they are official and original documents.
• Can I be admitted as an international student if I'm not yet proficient in English?
  
  ASU may offer conditional admission to international applicants who meet the academic (aptitude) requirements but who are not proficient in English. Conditional admission gives international F-1 students three semesters to submit a passing TOEFL, IELTS or PTE score, or to successfully graduate from ASU Global Launch to be fully admitted to the university.
• Can international students receive ASU scholarships?
  
  International first-year and transfer F-1 students may be considered for the New American University Scholarship, which helps with college expenses.
