For undergraduate applicants, you can check the status of your application by logging into Future Wildcat. 

For graduate applicants, you can check the status of your application by logging into GradApp. Once your application is in GradApp, no further action will be taken by the Graduate College until your department of interest makes a decision about your application.

Following your offer of admission, undergraduate students may request to be re-reviewed for another major one time. Please contact your international recruiter for assistance. 

Once you have registered for classes, change from one college to another is initiated by filing a change of college form with the new college. We recommend you work with your Academic Advisor after arriving to campus to begin this process. 

Once you have changed your major, please contact International Student Services (ISS) to let them know of the changes so they can update your I-20.

You will be informed about your admission decision via email. The notification will be sent to the email address provided on your application on the day the admission decision is made. If you have a University of Arizona email account, notification will be sent to your Arizona email address.

You can pay the non-refundable application fee with a major credit card (VISA or Master Card) via the Future Wildcat portal. You can also pay by check or money order drawn on a U.S. banking affiliate, made payable to the University of Arizona.

The University of Arizona does not require students to submit SAT of ACT scores for admission. If you take one of these tests and have the score report sent to our office (School Code: 4832), your scores may enhance your chance for admission. Additionally, your score may be eligible for completing Proof of English proficiency.

• It depends. If you are applying for undergraduate admission and have completed 3 years of regular English classes with a "C" or better at an accredited American high school (domestic or abroad), you do not need to take the TOEFL.
• If you have completed less than 3 years at an accredited American high school or were enrolled in English as a Second Language (ESL)-level classes, you are still required to demonstrate English proficiency.
• International Undergraduate Admissions may review the English proficiency requirement and make admission decisions based on the totality of the student’s application, including but not limited to high school academic performance, extracurricular activities, and/or other test scores.
• If you are applying for graduate admission, proof of English proficiency is required for international applicants who hold citizenship from a country where English is not the official language.

You can make photocopies of the original credentials and have them certified by the authorized official at the institution that issues them or the Ministry of Education. These copies must bear the original signature of the authorized official and the colored institutional seal. We do not accept certification of a notary public.

• Please review our specific requirements and credentials that you must submit based on where you have completed your secondary education. If you have attended a post-secondary institution, you must also send the official transcript (mark sheet) for the courses you have completed and the grades you earned.

For full-time enrollment on the Main Campus, our estimate for books is $450 USD per semester for both undergraduate and graduate students.
