Canadian & International Students

We have over 500 international students from over 60 countries

We're proud of our active and diverse international community. For more information about becoming a student at UND, link to the Office of International Programs.

Canadian Students:

Canadian Freshman applicants:

All Canadian freshmen applicants must complete and return the official UND admission application form with the $35 non-refundable application fee. Beginning freshman applications must request their high schools to send transcripts of their records directly to the UND Office of Admissions.

Canadian Transfer students:

Send transcripts from each institution you've attended to the UND Office of Admissions. If you've earned less than 60 semester hours of credit, please also include your high school transcript.

If you're under the age of 25 or have completed less than 24 credits at another institution of higher education, you're required to take the ACT or SAT test. Official results of the ACT or SAT should be sent to UND directly from the testing agency. Information on the ACT test can be found at www.act.org and on the SAT test at www.collegeboard.com.

Canadian students have to meet the same admission requirements as U.S. students. For specific admission information, select this link.

Applications for admission

Canadian Student Tuition and Costs

Manitoba and Saskatchewan are considered contiguous provinces, and residents qualify for a tuition discount. All other Canadian residents pay non-resident tuition rates. Our Cost Estimator has current tuition rates. Some programs may have additional costs, please contact the department directly to learn more.

Canadian Student Financial Aid

You can obtain a full-time Canada Student Loan to attend UND. First, contact your province's or territory's Student Assistance Office to make sure UND is recognized as a designated institution.

Canadian Student Immigration Regulations

U.S. Immigration regulations require Canadian students to complete the International Admissions Statement of Financial Responsibility form before an I-20 can be issued. Upon admission to UND and receipt of the form, an I-20 will be mailed to you. Present the I-20 to the immigration officer when crossing the U.S. border. The officer will stamp it and issue an I-94 arrival/departure card. Keep both the I-20 and the I-94 with you at all times. You need them to be in the U.S. as a student. Canadian students don't require a visa to study in the U.S.

You will be required by Immigration to carry at least 12 credits per semester to stay in the U.S. Special permission for fewer credits must be approved by the Office of International Programs. Immigration regulations forbid you to work off-campus without special permission.

When you arrive at UND, you must report to the Office of International Programs. They will photocopy your entry documents and activate your immigration record. If you fail to do this, there can be serious problems.

The Office of International Programs is here to help you with academic, social, and personal needs. They will also provide rides to campus from the Grand Forks airport, bus or train depot.
