  Eligibilty
International students are eligible to apply for admission to Boston University as undergraduates if they have completed the equivalent of the United States secondary school education (approximately 12 years of formal education starting at age six) and have the appropriate diplomas or satisfactory results on leaving examinations. However, some secondary certificates represent varying amounts of total education according to the different educational systems of the world and may either exceed or fall short of the required preparation for University entrance. Applicants should refer to Required Secondary School Credentials and Advanced Credit Policies to find the admission requirements for the country (or countries) in which they have studied.

When international students submit an application, they must include official secondary school academic records of the last four years of study, as well as a copy of the results of any terminating or qualifying examinations taken or certificates obtained. All documents written in a foreign language must be accompanied by a notarized English translation.

Please note that both documents are required—the original in the applicant's language and the English translation. These documents must be signed in ink by the appropriate official of the applicant's school and must include the institution's official seal.
