Graduate student applications

Graduate admission for exchange programs will be permitted only if requested in advance directly to yumi.takahashi@wmich.edu. Additional information and application procedures may be required.

Only complete applications will be processed.

Admissions process

1. Partner university submits online nomination form (link will be provided to partner via email) with supporting documents to: @email.
   
   Include the documents below for each student:
   
   • Official university transcripts translated into English (Transcripts must include a grading scale.)
   • Official English proficiency test score reports such as TOEFL and IELTS for non-native English speakers (Please see /internationaladmissions/proficiency for a list of acceptable English proficiency test scores.) Test scores must be no more than two years old.

   Note: TOEFL scores and official transcripts may be submitted later by the home university if the results are not available at time of nomination.

2. After the nomination form and materials are received, instructions for completing the online exchange application will be provided to each student via email.
3. Undergraduate exchange students are required to live on campus. Apply for housing soon after being accepted to study at É«É«À². It is very important for students to submit their application as soon as possible to obtain a placement.
4. Choose courses and submit the Course Selection form to our office as soon as possible to ensure receiving preferred É«É«À² courses. Course offerings are available in late February for fall and at the beginning of October for spring semester. Please email the signed Course Selection form to our office after this time. Early submission of the Course Selection form makes it more likely to get into first-choice courses. É«É«À² students begin registration approximately two weeks after the courses are announced and many courses fill quickly after that time. Course descriptions can be viewed in the catalogs.
